Spatial and temporal patterns of bio-optical properties were studied in the Northern Gulf of Mexico during cruises in April and October of 2000, a year during which the discharge volume from the Mississippi River was unusually low. Highly variable surface Chl a concentrations (0.1 to 17 mg m(-3)) and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorption (0.07 to 1.1 m(-1) at 412 nm) were observed in the study region that generally decreased with increasing salinity waters, being highest nearshore and decreasing at offshore stations. The optical properties of absorption, scattering, and diffuse attenuation coefficients reflected these distributions with phytoplankton particles and CDOM contributing to most of the spatial, vertical, and seasonal variability. The diffuse attenuation coefficient K-d(lambda) and spectral remote sensing reflectance R-rs(lambda) were linear functions of absorption and backscattering coefficients a(lambda) and b(b)(lambda) through the downward average cosine mu(d) and the ratio of variables f/Q at the SeaWiFS wavebands for waters with widely varying bio-optical conditions. Although various R-rs(lambda) ratio combinations showed high correlation with surface Chl a concentrations and CDOM absorption at 412 nm, power law equations derived using the R-rs(490)/R-rs(555) and R-rs(510)/R-rs(555) ratios provided the best retrievals of Chl alpha concentrations and CDOM absorption from SeaWiFS reflectance data.
