The significance of light backscattering in the ocean is wide ranging, especially in optical
remote sensing. However, the complexity of natural seawater as an optical medium often …

Solar radiation is the energy source driving the metabolic activity of microorganisms able to
photobiologically fixate carbon dioxide and convert solar energy into biofuels. Thus, careful …

Spectral backscattering coefficients were determined for 29 species of cultured marine
plankton representing 12 classes using a fixed-angle backscattering meter. Using a multi …

The light scattering properties of oceanic particles have been suggested as an alternative
index of phytoplankton biomass than chlorophyll-a concentration (chl-a), with the benefit of …

Spectrophotometric measurement of particulate matter retained on filters is the most
common and practical method for routine determination of the spectral light absorption …

This experimental study reports, for the first time, the radiation characteristics of the
unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain CC125 and its truncated …

The backscattering properties of marine phytoplankton, which are assumed to vary widely
with differences in size, shape, morphology and internal structure, have been directly …

This article presents the raw and analysed data on the absorption features of 30 pigments
commonly occurring in phytoplankton. All unprocessed absorption spectra are given …

Determination of particulate absorption in natural waters is often made by measuring the
transmittance of samples on glass-fiber filters with the so-called quantitative filter technique …

Light scattering properties of algae-like particles are modeled using the T-matrix for coated
scatterers. Two basic geometries have been considered: off-centered coated spheres and …
