Characterizing inherent optical properties (IOPs) of water constituents is crucial for remote sensing applications. Remote sensing in Cartagena Bay is particularly challenging due to significant variations in constituent concentrations caused by the seasonal and annual variability of discharges from the Canal del Dique. This article presents the va...
Las floraciones de fitoplancton, especialmente las de dinoflagelados, han cobrado relevancia en la discusión sobre la salud de los ecosistemas marinos y costeros. Estos eventos, que pueden ser tanto naturales como inducidos por la actividad humana, presentan un desafío significativo para la conservación de la biodiversidad y la gestión sostenible d...
The authors present data on both inherent and apparent optical properties, CTD profiles for the southwestern area of the Bay of Cartagena (Colombia) along a transect of seven stations. The data were collected during the dry and wet seasons of 2022. Optical properties include the depth of the Secchi disk as well as the absorption coefficients of par...
Todos Santos Bay (TSB) is located on the northeastern coast of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. Algal blooms dominated by dinoflagellates in TSB are recurrent and negatively impact the ecosystem of the bay and regional economy. In this study, we analyzed the concentration of chlorophyll a (Chla) and the light absorption coefficients of phyt...
The Cartagena Bay in Colombia has vital economic and environmental importance, playing a fundamental role in both the port and tourism sectors. Unfortunately, the water quality of the bay is undergoing a deterioration process due to the significant influx of sediment from the artificial channel known as Canal del Dique. Although field campaigns are...
La calidad del agua de la bahía de Cartagena se ha venido deteriorando producto del aporte de sedimentos del canal del Dique. Los impactos de dichos aportes sobre la calidad del agua de la bahía, se estudian a partir de campañas semestrales, integradas por 11 estaciones de monitoreo, dentro de las cuales se hacen mediciones de sólidos suspendidos t...
Environmental conditions throughout the world ocean are changing in response to fossil fuel emissions and greenhouse warming in the atmosphere. Climate change and high carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are causing a domino-like series of changes in ocean conditions, including increased temperature, decreased oxygen content and acidification....
El estudio de la pendiente espectral de la Materia Orgánica Disuelta Cromofórica (SCDOM) en aguas ópticamente complejas es importante para comprender su papel en los ciclos biogeoquímicos y la atenuación de la luz en la columna de agua, dada la dependencia espectral que tiene con el coeficiente de absorción de la Materia Orgánica Disuelta Cromofóri...
The analysis of synoptic satellite data of total chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and the environmental
drivers that influence nutrient and light availability for phytoplankton growth allows us to understand the spatio-temporal variability of phytoplankton biomass. In the Panama Bight Tropical region (PB; 1–9ºN, 79–84ºW), the spatial distribution of Chl-a is...
Los dinoflagelados son considerados como un grupo muy diverso, encontrados en la mayoría de los ambientes acuáticos, sin embargo, a pesar de la importancia de este grupo, son pocos los trabajos que se han hecho para el área del mar Caribe, siendo los registros más cercanos los reportados para el Golfo de México y la cadena submarina Vitória-Trindad...
Two semi-analytical algorithms, Generalized Inherent Optical Property (GIOP) and Garver-Siegel-Maritorena (GSM), were evaluated in terms of how well they reproduced the absorption coefficient of phytoplankton (aph(λ)) and dissolved and detrital organic matter (adg(λ)) at three wavelengths (λ of 412, 443, and 488 nm) in a zone with optically complex...
Variability of the optical properties of the northern Gulf of California (México) were analyzed for the first time based on six cruises performed from spring to summer (March to September) between 2008 and 2013. The changes observed in the absorption by three seawater components (phytoplankton, detritus and chromophoric dissolved organic matter or...
En la Antártida, las proliferaciones masivas de fitoplancton psicrófilo (extremófilo) causa fenómenos que colorean la nieve del continente de verde, naranja o roja. Esto ocurre durante el verano austral, cuando la nieve comienza a derretirse y la radiación solar es más intensa. Durante la 3ra expedición Antártica colombiana (http://www.programaanta...
