Abstract:
The authors present data on both inherent and apparent optical properties, CTD profiles for the southwestern area of the Bay of Cartagena (Colombia) along a transect of seven stations. The data were collected during the dry and wet seasons of 2022. Optical properties include the depth of the Secchi disk as well as the absorption coefficients of particulate organic matter (ap) and chromophoric dissolved organic matter (aCDOM), together with analyses of total suspended solids (TSS) and turbidity in terms of nephelometric units (NTU). The dataset encompasses several types of data files on the light field in water, which is suitable for the development of water quality indices, the study of optically complex systems occupied by strategic marine ecosystems, the input of the calibration and validation processes of satellite algorithms as well as coastal zone management and administration.

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure
Assuming the air temperature is constant at a given altitude and that the ideal gas law of thermodynamics describes the atmosphere to a good approximation, one can find the variation of atmospheric pressure with height.
Let p(y) be the atmospheric pressure at...
