R(l)= f [ IOPs(l) ] = f [ a(l), bE(y, l), bI(y, l’→ l) ] ≈ f [ bb(l) / ( a(l) + bb(l) ) ] ≈ f [ bb(l) / a(l) ] IOPs(l) = f [ seawater constituents ] R(l) = f [ seawater constituents ]
Seawater is a complex optical medium with a great variety of particle types and soluble species 10 mm
Three- or four-component model based on few broadly defined seawater constituents IOP(l)=IOPw(l) +IOPp(l)+IOPCDOM(l) IOPp(l)=IOPph(l)+IOPd(l) IOPd+CDOM(l) =IOPd(l)+IOPCDOM(l)
Chlorophyll-based models IOPph(l) =f [Chl] IOPp(l) =f [Chl] IOP(l)=IOPw(l) +f [ Chl ]
Case 1 and Case 2 Waters Morel and Prieur (1977); Gordon and Morel (1983)
Average trends • Large, seemingly random, variability
Chlorophyll algorithms more than 30 years of history Clarke, Ewing and Lorenzen (1970)
Beam attenuation vs chlorophyll Loisel and Morel (1998)
Standard Chl algorithms in the Baltic Sea Darecki and Stramski (2004)
Case1/Case 2 bio-optics Stagnation New science strategy Reductionist approach
Ni Reductionist reflectance / IOP model
EXAMPLE CRITERIA • Manageable number of components • The sum of components should account for the total bulk IOPs as accurately as possible • The components should play a specific well-defined role in ocean optics, marine ecosystems, biogeochemistry, water quality, etc.

The complexity of seawater as an optical medium should not deter us from pursuing the proper course in basic research to ensure quantitatively meaningful applications in coastal water imaging
