Light field characterisation and modelling in optically complex waters
Absorption and scattering by dissolved and particulate materials in shelf seas influence the attenuation of light in the water column. These effects are most pronounced in coastal regions where the light available for phytoplankton absorption may be limited by the presence of sediment and coloured d...

| Summary: | Absorption and scattering by dissolved and particulate materials in shelf seas influence the attenuation of light in the water column. These effects are most pronounced in coastal regions where the light available for phytoplankton absorption may be limited by the presence of sediment and coloured dissolved organic matter. |
