Suspended particles play an important role in coastal waters by controlling to a large extent
the variability of the water inherent optical properties (IOPs). In this study, focused on the …

Variability in upper ocean optical properties is often driven by changes in the particle pool.
We investigated the effects of such changes by characterizing individual particles. For …

Particulate matter concentration (PM, often referred to as total suspended solids [TSS]) is an
important parameter in the evaluation of water quality. Several optical measurements used …

The variability of the backscattering to scattering ratio of marine particles, bbp: bp, is
examined from in situ measurements performed during the spring and early summer of 2004 …

Variability in the optical particle backscattering coefficient (bbp) is investigated in oceanic
waters from two sites, namely the BOUée pour l'acquiSition d'une Série Optique à Long …

The seasonality of the mass specific scattering and backscattering by different components
of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) was investigated at a coastal station in the …

Relationships between optical and physical properties were examined on the basis of
intensive sampling at a site on the New England continental shelf during late summer 1996 …

We examined optical variability of seawater in relation to particle concentration, composition,
and size distribution in the nearshore marine environment at Imperial Beach, California, over …

In situ attenuation (488 and 660 nm), absorption (488, 676, and 750 nm), backscattering (at
488 nm), and stimulated fluorescence were determined as functions of depth in oceanic and …

This paper examines relationships between the inherent optical properties (IOPs) of the Irish
Sea and concentrations of optically significant constituents, measured as chlorophyll (Chl) …
