comment :
Optical Backscatter (Red Wavelengths) is a measure of the amount of red light (630-740 nm wavelengths) scattered in the backward direction due to suspended matter within seawater, providing a proxy for turbidity and suspended solids.

comment :
Fluorometric Chlorophyll-a Concentration is an estimate of phytoplankton biomass using fluorescence. The fluorometer emits light at a specific wavelength that is absorbed by chlorophyll and re-emitted as light at a different wavelength. By measuring the intensity of the re-emitted wavelength the chlorophyll-a concentration in the surrounding seawater can be estimated. Chlorophyll-a concentrations can be used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass because it is a dominant photosynthetic pigment.
The Total Volume Scattering Coefficient represents the volume scattering from particles and the molecular scattering from water at a given wavelength of light and the default angle of 117 degrees for the ECO meter.
