The open ocean carbonate pump represents the production and downward flux of
particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) in the form of calcium carbonate synthesized by calcifying …

Sediment affected water resources require frequent and accurate suspended sediment
concentration (SSC) data for proper design, operation and management. The traditional …

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 …

Marine microscopic particles profoundly impact global biogeochemical cycles, but our
understanding of their dynamics is hindered by lack of observations. To fill this gap, optical …

Measurements of the particulate beam attenuation coefficient at multiple wavelengths in the
ocean typically exhibit a power law dependence on wavelength, and the slope of that power …

Particulate matter concentration (PM, often referred to as total suspended solids [TSS]) is an
important parameter in the evaluation of water quality. Several optical measurements used …

A lidar technique has been proposed and demonstrated for remotely sensing particulate
beam attenuation coefficient (cp) profiles using the Raman backscattered signal from water …

Marine aggregates, agglomerations of particles and dissolved materials, are an important
particulate pool in aquatic environments, but their optical properties are not well understood …
