The relationship between chlorophyll alpha and transparency in the southern Japan sea

This paper examines the effects of chlorophyll a concentration on transparency. Data were derived from observations in the southern Japan Sea from 1973 to 1989. There is a significant inverse relationship between integrated chlorophyll a in the upper 30m water column and transparency. Transparency c...

Summary:This paper examines the effects of chlorophyll a concentration on transparency. Data were derived from observations in the southern Japan Sea from 1973 to 1989. There is a significant inverse relationship between integrated chlorophyll a in the upper 30m water column and transparency. Transparency can be used as an indicator of the relative abundance of chlorophyll a
