Bio-Optical Response of Phytoplankton and Coloured Detrital Matter (CDM) to Coastal Upwelling in the Northwest South China Sea by Guifen Wang, Wenlong Xu, Shubha Sathyendranath, Wen Zhou, Wenxi Cao

“…To examine the bio-optical response to coastal upwelling, we measured inherent optical properties (IOPs) and biogeochemical parameters simultaneously off Hainan Island in the northwest part of the South China Sea (SCS) during late summer 2013. Bio-optical relationships between IOPs and phytoplankton were used for calculating vertical profiles of the total chlorophyll a concentration (Chl-a) and the absorption by coloured detrital matter (CDM). …”
