Comments	P.3 left column bottom paragraph: "Phytoplankton Class-Specific Chlorophyll:[12] Using an extensive pigment database obtained from high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses of water samples from a variety of oceanic regions, Uitz et al. [2006] proposed a method for deriving Chl vertical profiles associated with three pigment-based size classes (micro-, nano-, and picophytoplankton) from Chlsurf. Seven diagnostic pigments were selected as biomarkers of specific taxa. These taxa were then assigned to one of the three size classes (Table 1 and Vidussi et al. [2001, Table 1])."
