The analysis of synoptic satellite data total chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and the environmental drivers that influence nutrient light availability for phytoplankton growth allows us to understand spatio-temporal variability biomass. In Panama Bight Tropical region (PB; 1–9°N, 79–84°W), spatial distribution Chl-a is mostly related seasonal wind patterns intensity localized upwelling centers. However, association between different physical variables still not fully assessed. this study, we evaluate...
The Cartagena Bay in Colombia has vital economic and environmental importance, playing a fundamental role both the port tourism sectors. Unfortunately, water quality of bay is undergoing deterioration process due to significant influx sediment from artificial channel known as Canal del Dique. Although field campaigns are carried out semiannually with 12 monitoring stations evaluate these impacts, understanding spatial dynamics suspended solids remains challenge. This article presents...
Variability of the optical properties northern Gulf California (México) were analyzed for first time based on six cruises performed from spring to summer (March September) between 2008 and 2013. The changes observed in absorption by three seawater components (phytoplankton, detritus chromophoric dissolved organic matter or CDOM) relation bio-optical regions composition phytoplankton community (determined pigments). Two with unique characteristics identified separated a narrow transition...
Two semi-analytical algorithms, Generalized Inherent Optical Property (GIOP) and Garver-Siegel-Maritorena (GSM), were evaluated in terms of how well they reproduced the absorption coefficient phytoplankton (aph(λ)) dissolved detrital organic matter (adg(λ)) at three wavelengths (λ 412, 443, 488 nm) a zone with optically complex waters, Upper Gulf California (UGC) Northern (NGC). In UGC, detritus determines most total light absorption, whereas, NGC, chromophoric material (CDOM) dominate. Upon...
Abstract Characterizing inherent optical properties (IOPs) of water constituents is crucial for remote sensing applications. Remote in Cartagena Bay particularly challenging due to significant variations constituent concentrations caused by the seasonal and annual variability discharges from Canal del Dique. This article presents absorption coefficients phytoplankton, chromophoric dissolved organic matter ( a CDOM ), non-algal particles NAP ) Bay. Absorption were measured laboratory across...
