Material Detail

This is a database of the elemental, pigment, size distribution, and inherent optical properties of a wide variety of cultured marine phytoplankton. This study was completed at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, West Boothbay Harbor, ME during 1996-2000.

Note: Please cite this publication if you use the backscattering coefficient data contained in this database:

Vaillancourt, R.D., C.W. Brown, R.R.L. Guillard, and W.M Balch, 2004, Light backscattering properties of marine phytoplankton: relationship to cell size, chemical composition, and taxonomy, J. Plank. Res. 26(2): 191-212
