Seasonality and drivers of water column optical properties on the northwestern Barents Sea shelf

Abstract

Regional relationships for estimating particulate organic carbon (POC) and chlorophyll-a concentrations from in situ attenuation and fluorescence measurements were developed. POC may act as an alternative indicator to chlorophyll-a for optical properties in ice-covered open ocean, which is relevant for light availability parametrizations in biogeochemical ocean models.
