| Method |
Abstract: "[1] The present study examines the potential of using the near-surface chlorophyll a concentration ([Chla]surf), as it can be derived from ocean color observation, to infer the column-integrated phytoplankton biomass, its vertical distribution, and ultimately the community composition. Within this context, a large High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) pigment database was analyzed." |
| Comments |
P.14 right column bottom paragraph: "[57] Apart from a few exceptions, the vertical distributions in mixed waters of the micro-, nano-, and pico-[Chla] are practically featureless, at least within the considered layer. It is reasonable, therefore, to assume uniform profiles and simply use the results presented in Figure 9 (tabulated in Table 6), which provide the relative proportions of the micro-, nano-, and pico-[Chla] as a function of [Chla]surf. Linear interpolation between the categories by using the actual [Chla]surf value is sufficient." |
