Ocean analysis by means of Beer’s law

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A method for applying Beer’s law to the analysis of ocean or lake water is described. The method makes use of measurements of daylight irradiance for studying the quantum efficiency of in situ photosynthesis by phytoplankton populations. Alternatively, the method can make use of in situ beam transmittance measurements for monochromatic studies of ocean contaminants.
