%X Absorption measurements turned out to be promising optical proxies for determining [TSM] and [chl-a] due to their lower variability compared with the other proxies. This improved accuracy could be already partially achieved also for continuous measurements. Moreover, a combination of the different optical methods has the potential to provide additional information besides concentration, such as the source of TSM in the water or physiological condition of the phytoplankton.
