  • Abstract
    Diffuse attenuation coefficient (kd, ku) eigenanalysis, using field data, is performed. Data are partitioned into wavelength, province, season, and up/downwelling k. Resulting eigenvectors and scalar multiples allow a reconstruction of the original k profiles. Parameterizing the scalar multiples, using satellite derived surface k´s, k depth profiles are computed
