The global distribution of phytoplankton size spectrum and size classes from their light-absorption spectra derived from satellite data

2013-12-01

Abstract excerpt

The absorption spectra of phytoplankton in the visible domain hold implicit information on the phytoplankton community structure. Here we use this information to retrieve quantitative information on phytoplankton size structure by developing a novel method to compute the exponent of an assumed power-law for their particle-size spectrum. This quantity, in combination with total chlorophyll-a concentration, can be u...
