Phytoplankton size class derived from phytoplankton absorption and chlorophyll-a concentrations in the northern South China Sea

A previously developed model was modified to derive three phytoplankton size classes (micro-, nano-, and pico-phytoplankton) from the overall chlorophyll-a concentration, assuming that each class has a specific absorption coefficient. The modified model performed well using in-situ data from the northern South China Sea, and the results were reliable and accurate. The relative errors of the size-fractioned chlorophyll-a concentration for each size class were: micro-: 21%, nano-: 41%, pico-: 26%, and nano+pico: 23%. The model was then applied on ocean color remote sensing data to examine the distribution and variation of phytoplankton size classes in northern South China Sea on a large scale.     

辽东湾海冰后向光场分布的研究

海冰光场分布特性的研究是冰区大气-海冰-海洋能量交换和生物特性研究的基础,通过设计"L"型辐亮度探头,运用自主研发的海冰高光谱辐射仪器于国内首次现场测量了辽东湾海冰内部光场的分布特性,研究发现海冰表层5cm至底层在水平方向上光场各向同性,进而认为在所观测站点的附近,采集冰块测量光场分布不依赖于海冰侧表面的选择.采集海冰...
