A reflectance model is presented that takes into account the spectral signatures of phytoplankton, dissolved organic matter and non-chlorophyllous particles. The model is validated by comparison with observed reflectance ...

A spectral model of underwater irradiance is coupled with a spectral version of the photosynthesis-light relationship to compute oceanic primary production. The results are shown to be significantly different from those ...

Phytoplankton cell numbers and chlorophyll a determinations were made during the premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon periods in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex (west coast of India). Primary productivity estimates ...
