Comparison of CDOM Absorption Coefficients Using Different Filters and Instruments
This study conducted on July 13, 2011, analyzed the absorption coefficients of CDOM using various filters and instruments in different sample sources like open ocean, dockside, and Biscay pond dilution series. The comparison included measurements with ac-9 and ac-s filters of varying sizes, along with slope comparisons, standard error analysis, and concentration-related functions. The results highlight the importance of filter selection and measurement accuracy in determining CDOM absorption coefficients.
