Temporal and Spatial Scales of Terrestrially-Derived Particulate and Dissolved Materials in the Penobscot River System: Quantifying Conserved and Non-Conserved Optical Properties and Transformations within the Estuary

Abstract

Coastal waters represent the commingling of offshore marine and terrestrial surface source waters and therefore are naturally complex and variable. Our long term goal is to establish observational and modeling approaches to predict sources and scales of variability in the source waters, particularly those related to land use activities in upstream watersheds, from observations and measurements in the coastal waters.
