Study of absorption characteristics of phytoplankton, particles and colored dissolved organic matter in Lake Baikal (July 2018 and September 2019)
Journal: Limnology and Freshwater Biology
Year: 2020

Results of two scientific cruises carried out in July 2018 and September 2019 were used for an analysis of variability in spectral bio-optical properties of Lake Baikal. Chlorophyll a concentration, spectral light absorption coefficient of phytoplankton, non-algal particles and colored dissolved organic matter varied in ~order of magnitude between stations. Vertical distribution of these bio-optical parameters depended on water column stability in euphotic layer. The chlorophyll a profiles were
