Blauwasserintensität
Blauwasserintensität refers to the perceived intensity or vividness of the color blue in a body of water. It is a subjective quality influenced by a variety of factors, both physical and perceptual. Physically, the color of water is determined by how it interacts with light. Water molecules absorb longer wavelengths of light (reds, oranges, yellows) more readily than shorter wavelengths (blues). This differential absorption causes blue light to be scattered back to the observer, making the water appear blue. The deeper and clearer the water, the more pronounced this effect, leading to a more intense blue hue.
Several environmental factors can significantly alter Blauwasserintensität. Suspended particles, such as sediment, algae, or plankton, can
The angle of sunlight and the observer's viewing angle also play a role. Sunlight directly overhead often
