Diel changes of the optical backscattering coefficient of oceanic particulate matter determined from diel changes in apparent optical properties: a case study in the Mediterranean Sea (BOUSSOLE site)

Using in situ measurements of radiometric quantities and of the optical backscattering coefficient of particulate matter (bbp) at an oceanic site, we show that diel cycles of bbp are large enough to generate measurable diel variability of the ocean reflectance. This means that biogeochemical quantit...
