Popis: Jiaozhou Bay is a semi-enclosed basin in the western part of Yellow Sea in China. Because of eutrophication and pollution in the bay, it is increasingly urgent to monitor the water quality effectively in real-time. In the summer of 2014, we conducted a two-day in-situ optical measurement in Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao coast to better understand the optical properties of the area. The inherent optical parameters show a typical characteristic of coastal waters. Light absorption is dominated by phytoplankton and CDOM. The scattering property of Jiaozhou Bay is more significant than that of Qingdao coast. Particulate attenuation, scattering and backscatting spectra all have power-law shapes.
