APPLICATIONS

• Investigate the  particulate biomass 
  distribution along a size continuum and its
  variability in relation with W/E gradient or with
  different trophic regimes.
• Significance of the diurnal variations for all
  the particles.
• Optics applications to document relationships
  between the slope of the size distribution and
  the particle attenuation spectra.
