Calcium carbonate measurements in the surface global ocean based on Moderate‐Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data
Abstract
We describe a two‐band algorithm for the remote quantification of the ocean's suspended calcium carbonate (also known as particulate inorganic carbon (PIC)), based on normalized water‐leaving radiance at 440 and 550 nm. We tested this algorithm using ship‐derived and satellite‐derived results from a variety of marine environments. From this validation work we calculated the overall accuracy of the satellite‐based PIC estimates, assuming different timescales and space scales for binning. After performing the validation work we applied the two‐band algorithm to water‐leaving radiance data from 2002, sampled by Moderate‐Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)/Terra (a 36‐band satellite spectrometer designed to observe land, ocean, and atmosphere), and we derived seasonal, global maps of the standing stock of pelagic PIC as well as particulate organic carbon (POC). These data, along with limited observations on the turnover time of calcium carbonate coccoliths in the euphotic zone, provide some new insights into global rates of pelagic calcite production.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
