Remote sensing estimation of phytoplankton absorption associated with size classes in coastal waters

As a second-order expression of the phytoplankton absorption coefficient (aph(λ)), the specific absorption coefficient of phytoplankton (aph*(λ)) is an essential optical parameter that refines the aph(λ) normalized by phytoplankton pigment concentration. Based on the in-situ samples collected in the...
