Cultivation of kelp has been well established throughout Asia, and there is now growing
interest in the cultivation of macroalgae in Europe to meet future resource needs. If this …

Recent studies by Morel (1978) and Platt, Sathyendranath, Caverhill and Lewis (1988) have
demonstrated the relative stability of the relationship between available photosynthetic …

Stratified oceanic systems are characterized by the presence of a so‐called Deep
Chlorophyll a Maximum (DCM) not detectable by ocean color satellites. A DCM can either …

Optical Properties and Remote Sensing of Inland and Coastal Waters discusses the
methodology and the theoretical basis of remote sensing of water. It presents physical …

Satellites provide the only avenue by which marine primary production can be studied at
ocean-basin scales. With maps of chlorophyll distribution derived from remotely sensed data …

The diffuse attenuation coefficient for downwelling irradiance (Kd) is an important parameter
for ocean studies. For the vast ocean the only feasible means to get fine‐scale …

The vertical distribution of chlorophyll in stratified lakes and reservoirs frequently exhibits a
maximum peak deep in the water column, referred to as the deep chlorophyll maximum …

Penetration of solar radiation in the ocean is determined by the attenuation coefficient (Kd
(λ)). Following radiative transfer theory, Kd is a function of angular distribution of incident …

The propagation of downwelling irradiance at wavelength λ from surface to a depth (z) in the
ocean is governed by the diffuse attenuation coefficient,(λ). There are two standard methods …

To address these issues with respect to the multifarious conditions existing in the different
basins of the World Ocean is a highly complicated matter and exceeds the scope of the …
