Water Column Optical Properties of Pacific Coral Reefs Across Geomorphic Zones and in Comparison to Offshore Waters

Despite the traditional view of coral reefs occurring in oligotrophic tropical conditions, water optical properties over coral reefs differ substantially from nearby clear oceanic waters. Through an extensive set of optical measurements across the tropical Pacific, our results suggest that coral ree...
