Extended Data Fig. 5: Relative availability of the spectral niches depends on absorption by CDOM and NAP.
From: Vibrational modes of water predict spectral niches for photosynthesis in lakes and oceans
The relative availability of a spectral niche is calculated by the radiative transfer model, as the fraction of the total scalar irradiance at the euphotic depth that falls within this spectral niche (see equation 10 in the Methods). The relative availability of the spectral niches is displayed as function of absorption by dissolved and detrital matter (that is, CDOM and NAP) at 443 nm (adg(443)), which is a variable that can be retrieved by satellite remote sensing.
