Journal ArticleDOI
Optical scattering and backscattering by organic and inorganic particulates in U.S. coastal waters

TL;DR: The results of a study of optical scattering and backscattering of particulates for three coastal sites that represent a wide range of optical properties that are found in U.S. near-shore waters can be well approximated by a power-law function of wavelength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between mercury accumulation in young-of-the-year yellow perch and water-level fluctuations.
TL;DR: A three-year monitoring effort of 14 northeastern Minnesota lakes was conducted to document relationships between water-level fluctuations and mercury bioaccumulation in young-of-the-year (YOY) yellow perch collected in the fall of each year at fixed locations, finding that annual water- level fluctuations are strongly correlated with mercury levels in YOY perch for both data sets.
Journal Article
Absorption, Scattering, and Remote-Sensing Reflectance Relationships in Coastal Waters: Testing aNew Inversion Algorithm
TL;DR: In this article, the surface correction and inversion algorithms are based on a reflectance difference at 715-735 nm, where the surface-reflectance is uncoupled from the total, measured reflectance, and the corrected remote sensing reflectance is calculated by difference, then the absorption and scattering coefficients are estimated using a new inversion algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of suspended particulate and dissolved organic matter on remote sensing of coastal and riverine waters
Michael Sydor,Robert A. Arnone +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that for case 2 waters, RSR was insensitive to the natural fluctuations in particle-size distributions and the cross-sectional area of the suspended particulate per unit volume, x(g), showed an excellent correlation with the volume scattering coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoreflectance from GaAs and GaAs/GaAs interfaces.
TL;DR: The effect broadens the band-edge photoreflectance by 5--10 meV, and artifically lowers the estimates for the critical-point energy, ${E}_{\mathrm{CP}}$, obtained through the customary third-derivative functional fit to the data.
