  1. Seasonal to Interannual Variability in Phytoplankton Biomass and Diversity on the New England Shelf In Situ Time Series for Validation and Exploration of Remote Sensing Algorithms Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution University of New Hampshire Heidi M. SosikHuiFeng

  2. Project Overview Goal: Use unique time series to evaluate algorithms that extend MODIS ocean color data beyond chlorophyll to functional type or size-class-dependent phytoplankton retrievals Approach: End-to-end time series observations, with step-by-step algorithm evaluation and error analysis single cells  phytoplankton community  bulk water optical properties  sea surface optical properties (air and water)  MODIS optical properties Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory Tower mounted AERONET-OC Submersible Imaging Flow Cytometry MODIS products

  3. Approach Phytoplankton Observations Single cells to communities Biomass, size- and taxon-resolved Phytoplankton Algorithms Absorption spectral shape  size structure Diagnostic pigments  size structure Diagnostic pigments  taxonomic structure

  4. Variability in community structure . m m Diatoms Cyano- bacteria m m m m m m m m

  5. Pigment-based retrieval of taxonomic groups Diatoms In situ FCM “CHEMTAX” Mackey et al. 1996 Total Chl a = diatom Chl a + dinoflagellateChl a + cyanobacteria Chl a + … with partitioning according to accessory pigment ratios

  6. Pigment-based retrieval of taxonomic groups Diatoms Diatoms (mg m3)

  7. Pigment-based retrieval of taxonomic groups Diatoms Dinoflagellates Cyanobacteria ~1 mm cells 10 mm

  8. Pigment-based retrieval of taxonomic groups Diatoms Dinoflagellates Cyanobacteria Chl or Carbon (mg m3) ~1 mm cells 10 mm

  9. Diagnostic pigment retrieval from Rrs Pan et al. 2010 band ratio algorithms AERONET-OC SeaPRISM, Rrs(l) Chl a Fucoxanthin Discrete samples HPLC pigment analysis Zeaxanthin Peridinin

  10. Pigment-based retrieval of taxonomic groups Diatoms Dinoflagellates Cyanobacteria Chl or Carbon (mg m3) ~1 mm cells 10 mm

  11. Remote sensing retrieval of taxonomic groups Diatoms Dinoflagellates Cyanobacteria Chl or Carbon (mg m3) AERONET-OC SeaPRISM, Rrs(l)  Loss of seasonal resolution Following: Pan et al. 2010 band ratio algorithms Pan et al. 2011 CHEMTAX application

  12. Remote sensing retrieval of taxonomic groups Diatoms Dinoflagellates Cyanobacteria Fraction of Chl a Relative contribution to total Chl a AERONET-OC SeaPRISM, Rrs(l)  Loss of seasonal resolution Following: Pan et al. 2010 band ratio algorithms Pan et al. 2011 CHEMTAX application

  14. Ecosystem characterization . Decadal increase in pico-cyanobacteria at MVCO

  15. Ecosystem characterization . Peacock et al. 2014 50 mm

  16. Ecosystem characterization . Peacock et al. 2014 Interannual fluctuations in diatoms  related to parasite infection  linked to temperature

  17. Looking forward on PFT characterization Time series observations single cells  phytoplankton community  bulk water optical properties  sea surface optical properties (air and water)  MODIS optical properties Local detail  Trends and patterns of change  Regional to basin scales Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory Tower mounted AERONET-OC MODIS products Combined in situ & satellite observations Submersible Imaging Flow Cytometry
