Give an account of absorption of water inland ..
Answers
hey there,
multiple bio-optical measurements were conducted in inland waters of China, including
Lake Taihu [spring and autumn], Lake Chaohu, Lake Dianchi, and Three Gorges
Reservoirs. The variations in the absorption characteristics of chromophoric dissolved
organic matter (CDOM), phytoplankton, and non-algal particles (NAP) and their relative
contributions to total absorption among these waters were analyzed. The obtained results
indicated that these areas are representative of the optically complex inland waters
characterized by strong regional variations of their absorption properties. By means of the
relative contributions of NAP and phytoplankton to the total water absorption at 550 and
675 nm, these waters were classifi
ed into three optical water types, each one having specific
biogeochemical and optical properties. Two of the types were distinct and corresponded to
waters that are optically controlled by NAP (Type I) and dominated by phytoplankton (Type
III). Type II was related to relatively optically mixed waters where the absorption properties
are controlled by NAP and phytoplankton
