Biogeochemical origins of particles obtained from the inversion of the volume scattering function and spectral absorption in coastal waters

In the aquatic environment, particles can be broadly separated into phytoplankton (PHY), non-algal particle (NAP) and dissolved (or very small particle, VSP) fractions. Typically, absorption spectra are inverted to quantify these fractions, but volume scattering functions (VSFs) can also be used. Bo...
