AB  - There is a pressing need for improved bio-optical models of high biomass waters 
      as eutrophication of coastal and inland waters becomes an increasing problem. 
      Seasonal boom conditions in the Southern Benguela and persistent harmful algal 
      production in various inland waters in Southern Africa present valuable 
      opportunities for the development of such modelling capabilities. The 
      phytoplankton-dominated signal of these waters additionally addresses an 
      increased interest in Phytoplankton Functional Type (PFT) analysis. To these 
      ends, an initial validation of a new model of Equivalent Algal Populations (EAP) 
      is presented here. This paper makes a first order comparison of two prominent 
      phytoplankton Inherent Optical Property (IOP) models with the EAP model, which 
      places emphasis on explicit bio-physical modelling of the phytoplankton 
      population as a holistic determinant of inherent optical properties. This 
      emphasis is shown to have an impact on the ability to retrieve the detailed 
      phytoplankton spectral scattering information necessary for PFT applications and 
      to successfully simulate reflectance across wide ranges of physical environments, 
      biomass, and assemblage characteristics.
