Abstract:We explore in situ the surface properties of
marine algal blooms of diatom monocultures by utilizing surface techniques of Brewster angle
microscopy (BAM) imaging, vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG), and
infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS). Over the course of the bloom, the marine
algae produce surface-active biogenic molecules that temporally partition to the topmost interfacial
layers and are selectively probed through surface imaging and spectroscopic measurements. BAM
