To implement the dataset with most recent measurements. Future Activities • To understand the vertical and seasonal variations of CDOM absorption with respect to seasonal dynamics of environmental factors (PAR, salinity etc). • To understand the seasonal dynamics of CDOM absorption and its relation with biomass with respect to the information on the phytoplankton and bacterial communities.
