Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient
“Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient” from 2022-03. Sentinel 3 Data (ESA) via NASA OceanColorWeb
This is a indicator of turbidity/sediment levels via the diffuse attenuation coefficient (often called KD490). It correlates with how strongly light at 490nm is attenuated (reduced) as it passes through the water column.
