Abstract
By sampling at high spatial resolution (18 stations in 4 km2), it was possible to evidence a spatial gradient of the optical and limnological properties, these distributions showed a consistent pattern in all three surveys, and were important for the characterization of the chromophoric dissolved organic matter that was estimated with the spectral slope of the extinction curve spectra. A relatively higher spectral slope was found in the southern basin with respect to the northern, where the maximum values of the attenuation coefficients and limnological parameters were found. These results suggest different sources of dissolved organic matter and/or a different level of photobleaching.
