Abstract

The average radius of suspended organic particles in Atlantic Ocean waters is calculated from the measurements of light scattering phase function. The calculated average sizes of organic particles were compared with the average sizes of phytoplankton cells determined visually using a microscope. The relationship between the size of organic particles and the water transparency is established. It is shown that the sizes of organic particles in oligotrophic waters are larger in comparison with eutrophic waters.
