Relating Ocean Optics to Photochemical Transformations of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in Coastal Waters

Abstract

The long-term goal of this research is to use remotely sensed and in situ ocean optical data together with photochemical rate determinations to estimate the spatial and temporal significance of photochemistry to marine organic carbon transformations and optical changes (loss of chromophoric/coloured dissolved organic matter: CDOM) resulting from these processes.
