Abstract

We regret that the R_rs spectra shown for the EAP modelled high biomass validation in Fig. 7 [Opt. Express , 22, 16745 (2014)] are incorrect. They are corrected here. The closest match of modelled to measured effective diameter is for a generalised 16 μm dinoflagellate population and not a 12 μm one as previously stated. These corrections do not affect the discussion or the conclusions of the paper.

Errata

On page 16755 [1] in the final paragraph, the third sentence should read, “This brief validation exercise shows that a chosen effective diameter of 16 micron most accurately matches all three high biomass blooms.”

Figure 7 is corrected as follows:

 

Fig. 7 High Biomass Validation of EAP R_rs, with EAP total backscatter probability shown for Chl a 1, 10, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 300 mg.m⁻³ for a generalised 16 μm dinoflagellate population.
