Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays important roles in the aquatic biogeochemical cycle
and the global carbon cycle. However, it is highly spatially and temporally varied due to …

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is an important optically active substance in
aquatic environments and plays a key role in light attenuation and in the carbon, nitrogen …

Observations from offshore regions (NW Atlantic and Arabian Sea) and from a semi-
enclosed bay (Tokyo Bay) were used to study the relationships between chlorophyll and …

The co‐variability of particulate backscattering (bbp) and attenuation (cp) coefficients and
particulate organic carbon (POC) provides a basis for estimating POC on spatial and …

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

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 …

Chlorophyll has long functioned as the prominent field metric for phytoplankton biomass, but
its variability can be strongly influenced by (even dominated by) physiological shifts in …

Characterizing phytoplankton distribution and dynamics in the world's open oceans requires
in situ observations over a broad range of space and time scales. In addition to …

Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, picophytoeukaryotes and bacterioplankton abundances
and contributions to the total particulate organic carbon concentration, derived from the total …

Oceanic particulate organic carbon (POC) is a small but dynamic component of the global
carbon cycle. Biogeochemical models historically focused on reproducing the sinking flux of …
