| Method |
A vertical profiling bio-optical package comprising a
CTD (SBE 49, Sea-bird Electronics) and a suite of
optical instruments enabled simultaneous measurements
of water column optical (absorption, scattering,
backscattering, Chl fluorescence) and physical
(temperature, salinity) variables. |
| Comments |
Chl-specific phytoplankton absorption coefficient
spectra aph* of surface seawater samples [Fig. 9(c)] in
the study area were observed to vary both spatially
and temporally with variations in the blue and red
absorption peaks of 0.02–0.1 and 0.02–0.09 m^2/mg
Chl, respectively. |
