Characterization of Optical and Associated Properties of Marine Colored Dissolved Organic Material (CDOM)

Abstract

A long-term scientific goal of our research for ONR has been to develop an understanding of the physical and chemical processes affecting colored dissolved organic material (CDOM) and the resultant attenuation changes of ultraviolet and visible radiation in seawater, particularly in the coastal environment where complex variations of sources, sinks, and modification processes can result in dynamic and heterogeneous changes to the optical characteristics (attenuation, color) of the surface ocean.
