Short summary
Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is a factor in determining penetration of light in estuaries. Important plant species growing in the beds of estuaries depend on such light penetration for survival. Previous studies have used CDOM fluorescence to approximate light absorption by CDOM but have found variable relationships between fluorescence and absorbance. This paper describes this variability in three east coast estuaries, and shows that this conversion is dependent on CDOM source.
