This study investigated the formation and size distribution of microscopic plastic particles
during the degradation of different plastic materials. Particle number concentrations in the …

The particle size distribution (PSD) plays a central role in understanding many facets of the
aquatic ecosystem, yet it is rarely measured in field studies and no single method provides a …

Abstract Water clarity in North America's Laurentian Great Lakes has undergone
considerable change over the last several decades as a consequence of invasive species …

An algorithm that utilizes individual lake hydro-optical (HO) models has been developed for
the Great Lakes that uses SeaWiFS, MODIS, or MERIS satellite data to estimate …

Backscattering of light by particulates, as quantified by the particulate backscattering
coefficient, b bp (m–1), is important in regulating the optical signal available for remote …

Remote sensing imagery are fundamental to increasing the knowledge about sediment
dynamics in the middle-lower Amazon floodplains. Moreover, they can help to understand …

The environmental conditions in estuaries display distinct variability along the river-ocean
mixing continuum from turbid, eutrophic freshwater to clear, oligotrophic offshore oceanic …

Features of light absorption are critical to optical aspects of water quality and in regulating
the signal available for remote sensing. Spectral characteristics and spatial patterns of light …

In situ measurements of inherent (IOPs) and apparent optical properties (AOPs), along with
laboratory measurements of optically active constituents, were made at sites (n= 14) in …

Satellite remote sensing offers one of the best spatial and temporal observational
approaches. However, well‐validated satellite imagery has remained elusive for Lake …
