+ </s>
+ <s>They are also vulnerable areas subjected to considerable anthropogenic pressures through urban and industrial development, pollution, fisheries, agriculture and aquaculture, recreation, etc.</s>
+ <s>These pressures have caused, in many cases, habitat degradation carrying serious environmental and economic consequences, such as harmful algal blooms (HABs), anoxia, accumulation of pollutants and toxins or over-exploited fisheries
+ <ref type="bibr" target="#b1">[2]</ref>.
+ </s>
+ <s>Added to this, the effects of climate change and natural hazards are threatening the capability of coastal ecosystems to support goods and valuable services
+ <ref type="bibr" target="#b2">[3]</ref>.
+ </s>
+ <s>For these reasons, increasing national and international efforts have been addressed over the last decades to establish and implement environmental strategies for preservation, conservation and sustainable use of these ecosystems.</s>
+ <s>In accordance with the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, new interdisciplinary research programs are successfully being carried out such as the coastal module of the Global Ocean Observing System (Coastal GOOS), the Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas (COSYNA), the Global Earth Observations System of Systems (GEOSS) or the Marine Geological and Biological Habitat Mapping (GEOHAB).</s>
+ <s>All those programs have been conceived to monitor, forecast and assess the state of coastal ecosystems, which involve integrated, multidisciplinary and multiscale observing systems.</s>
+ <s>Coastal environments are governed by complex physical and biogeochemical processes and thus, undergo changes over a broad range of time-space scales.</s>
+ <s>Continuous and routine provision of data is therefore required to assess the states of these ecosystems, detect changes in these states and evaluate their impacts
+ <ref type="bibr" target="#b3">[4]</ref>.
+ </s>
+ <s>In addition, there is a demand for compact, inexpensive, stable and low power in situ sensors to enable sustainable and long-term monitoring.</s>

+ <p>
+ <s>A powerful solution to resolve in-water variability at a wide range of space and time scales is the use of in situ measurements of Inherent Optical Properties (IOPs)

+ <s>The comparison between the total non-water beam attenuation coefficient and the particulate and CDOM absorption at 710 nm (c pg (710), a p (710) and a CDOM (710), respectively) was performed to determine the relative contribution of the two last components to the bulk c pg (710) signal (Fig

+ </s>
+ <s>In all samples, a p (710) and a CDOM (710) represented a minor fraction of c pg (710), since their values were two orders of magnitude lower than c pg (710).</s>
+ <s>c pg (710) oscillated from 0.96 to 4.66 m -1 , whereas a p (710) and a CDOM (710) ranged from 0.0065 to 0.025 m -1 in our dataset.</s>
+ <s>The insignificant CDOM contribution to the attenuation signal at 710 nm, enabled to use c pg (710) as proxy for TSM.</s>
+ <s>Then, a model II linear regression analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between c pg (710) and TSM (Fig

+ </s>
+ <s>This disparity in the regression slope can be partly explained due to the different attenuation wavelength used in the relationship (670 and 710 nm in Neukermans et al. (2012)

+ <ref type="bibr" target="#b56">[58]</ref>, the relationship between a ph (λ) and Chl-a varied as a result of changes in packaging effect and pigment composition.
+ </s>
+ <s>Our proxy is therefore suspected to be affected not only by these factors but also by minor contributions associated with CDOM and non-algal particles absorption, particle size distribution or Chl-a fluorescence, which compromise the relationship found between Chl-a concentration and c pg (685) peak height.</s>

+ <s>Continuous measurements of spectral beam attenuation coefficient collected in situ with an advanced-technology transmissometer have been proven as a powerful tool to better understand the existing interactions between physical and biogeochemical variables in the complex estuarine waters of Alfacs Bay (NW Mediterranean).</s>
+ <s>In particular, this approach allowed the detection of qualitative changes in the major biogeochemical variables (i.e.</s>
+ <s>Chl-a, TSM and CDOM) at high temporal and spatial scales in this microtidal estuary.</s>
+ <s>Spatial patterns observed in the biogeochemical properties were driven by the vertical stratification of the water column.</s>
+ <s>Accordingly, surface and bottom water layers were characterized by a different relative contribution of the major biogeochemical variables to the bulk beam attenuation.</s>
+ <s>Meanwhile, observations along the 48 hours time series revealed a coupling between physical (meteorological and hydrodynamic conditions) and biogeochemical properties, since the prevailing hydrodynamic regimes determined the variations in water composition.</s>
+ <s>The temporal and spatial patterns were obtained based on the spectral features of the total non-water beam attenuation coefficient and validated with laboratory results of discrete water samples (i.e.</s>
+ <s>biogeochemical variables and partitioned absorption coefficients).</s>
+ <s>Significant linear relationships were found between the non-water beam attenuation proxies and the biogeochemical variables.</s>
+ <s>However, for future studies, it is highly recommended to include in situ beam attenuation measurements of 0.2 μm-filtered seawater for better CDOM characterization.</s>
+ <s>The proposed proxies are subject to numerous uncertainties due to several factors affecting the attenuation signal (CDOM absorption and particle characteristics such as size, shape, composition, etc., which determine their absorption and scattering properties).</s>
+ <s>For this reason, the collection of discrete water samples for laboratory analysis of biogeochemical variables is required for validation purposes.</s>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <s>Our results based on a high-frequency, low power ( 3 W), compact, versatile (adaptable to different observing platforms) and cost-effective (~10000€) beam attenuation meter, as well as on a simple and rapid data processing method, have demonstrated a capability to improve the operational monitoring of coastal waters towards a better understanding of their complex physical and biogeochemical interactions.</s>
