  13. 1.1 Surface chlorophyll vs. Euphotic zone PP

  14. 1.1 Rrs vs. Euphotic zone PP

  15. 2. Model based on C:Chl ratios • Behrenfeld et al. (2005) developed a productivity model based on Chl:C ratios • and chlorophyll concentrations derived from ocean color satellite observations. • Carbon (POC) is retrieved from backscatter • Chlorophyll is retrieved from Rrs ratios (i.e OC4V4, OC3M or OC3Arc) • These are coupled with mixed layer light levels from surface PAR and K490 • observations and growth rates estimated from the literature. The final equation is: • NPP = C . µ . Zeu. h(Io) • Where C is carbon, µ is growth rate, Zeu is the euphotic depth and h(Io) describes how • changes in surface light influence the depth dependent profile • of carbon fixation

  16. 2. Model based on C:Chl ratios

  17. 2. Model based on C:Chl ratios • Model Input • Carbon (POC) is retrieved from backscatter – Behrenfeld global relationship • Chlorophyll is retrieved from Rrs ratios - OC3Arc • Surface PAR – estimated from observations • Mixed layer light levels – estimated from observations • Growth rate – literature global, 0.5 – 2 divisions d-1 • h(Io) taken from Behrenfeld and Falkowski (1997) • NPP = C . µ . Zeu . h(Io) • Model output • 1. NPP euphotic zone integrated - g C m-2 day-1
