On the fundamental additive modes of ocean color absorption
Abstract Previous principal component analyses of ocean color absorption coefficient spectra aλ have shown the variation in these data is captured by a few eigenfunctions. Here, we perform an unsupervised, non‐negative matrix factorization (NMF) of aλ to derive their fundamental and physically interpretable modes.
