Variability in the chlorophyll‐specific absorption coefficients of natural phytoplankton: Analysis and parameterization
Abstract
Variability in the chlorophyll (chl) a‐specific absorption coefficients of living phytoplankton aph*(λ) was analyzed using a data set including 815 spectra determined with the wet filter technique in different regions of the world ocean (covering the chlorophyll concentration range 0.02–25 mg m−3). The aph* values were observed to decrease rather regularly from oligotrophic to eutrophic waters, spanning over more than 1 order of magnitude (0.18 to 0.01 m 2 mg−1) at the blue absorption maximum. The observed covariation between aph*(λ) and the field chl a concentration (chl) can be explained considering (1) the level or pigment packaging and (2) the contribution of accessory pigments to absorption. Empirical relationships between aph*(λ) and 〈chl〉 were derived by least squares fitting to power functions. These relationships can be used to produce aph* spectra as a function of 〈chl〉. Such a simple parameterization, if confirmed with further data, can be used, e.g., for refining estimates of the carbon fixation rate at global or regional scales, such as those obtained by combining satellite pigment concentration maps with primary production models based on physiological parameters, among which aph* is an important one.

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.
