Short summary
In 2012 measurements were conducted in two adjacent estuary systems on Greenland’s western coast that are strongly influenced by glacial meltwater. Results described in this study show the relevance of inorganic SPM and Chl a alike, while colored dissolved organic matter is less prominent. Light availability was recorded throughout the cruise and an effective two-component (Chl a and inorganic SPM) model for PAR is developed to fill observational gaps from insufficient light conditions.
