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

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand the factors affecting the optical characteristics of seawater. Of particular interest to us are the effects of sunlight-initiated physical/chemical processes on colored dissolved organic material (CDOM), and the resultant attenuation changes in ultraviolet and visible radiation in seawater and coastal environments.
