          Abstract

          Reflectance spectral curves were analysed by a derivative method. Derivative reflectance spectra revealed concealed peaks of both reflectance and absorption curves of Caribbean seawater and elements contained within it. Reflectance curves showed a predominant blue colour (400-500 nm) characteristic of Caribbean oligotrophic waters, conspicuous peaks result from the optical properties of chlorophyll a and seawater. Reflectance curves had a similar spectral response. This paper analyses reflectance spectra of surface seawater at 31 stations in the Caribbean Sea during the summer of 2001.

          En este trabajo se analizaron curvas de reflectancia espectral mediante el método de derivada. Los espectros de derivada de la reflectancia revelaron picos ocultos tanto en curvas de reflectancia y absorción del agua del Mar Caribe y de elementos contenidos en ella. Las curvas de reflectancia mostraron un predominio del color azul (400-500 nm), el cual es característico de aguas oligotróficas del Caribe, los picos de absorción están influenciados por las propiedades ópticas de la clorofila a y el agua de mar. Las curvas de reflectancia mostraron respuesta espectral similar. En este artículo se analizaron los espectros de reflectancia del agua marina en 31 estaciones en el Mar Caribe en el verano de 2001.
