Spectral absorption coefficients of living phytoplankton and nonalgal biogenous matter: A comparison between the Peru upwelling areaand the Sargasso Sea

Abstract

Absorption coefficients of total particulate (biogenous) matter were determined in the mesotrophic waters of the Peruvian upwelling and the oligotrophic waters of the Sargasso Sea. A method based on spectral criteria was used to partition these coefficients into absorption by living algal cells and by nonalgal (mainly detrital) material. This method was tested by independently measuring absorption by nonalgal material for samples from the Sargasso Sea. The average Chl‐specific absorption coefficients measured in the Sargasso Sea are significantly higher than in the Peruvian upwelling and also higher in the surface layer than in the deep Chl maximum layer. These systematic variations appear to be mainly due to differences in sizes and intracellular pigment concentrations of the cells, inducing differences in the amplitude of the package effect.

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.
