This study analyzes relationships between concentration of suspended particles
represented by dry mass,[SPM], or area,[AC], and optical properties including particulate …

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 …

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 …

From laboratory measurements, we determined the spectral mass‐specific absorption,
ap*(λ), and scattering, bp*(λ, coefficients for terrigenous mineral‐rich particulate …

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 …

The relationship between the Secchi depth (ZSD) and the diffuse attenuation coefficient for
photosynthetically active radiation (Kd (PAR)), and in particular the product of the two, ZSD …

The particulate backscattering ratio (b_bp/b_p) is a useful indicator of the angular scattering
characteristics of natural waters. Recent studies have shown evidence both for and against …

This paper reports on detailed studies of the relationship between the inherent optical
properties (IOPs) of suspended particulate matter populations occurring in southern Baltic …

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 …

We propose a direct method of partitioning the particulate spectral scattering coefficient of
the marine hydrosol based on the concurrent determination of the concentrations of …
