Spectral Modeling of UV Inhibition of In Situ Antarctic Primary Production Using A Field‐Derived Biological Weighting Function
Abstract— Our major aim is to illustrate an approach for hindcasting or forecasting UV radiation (UVR, 280–400 nm) effects on in situ rates of aquatic primary production when field measurements do not include estimates of UVR effects. A composite of spectral field measurements is employed to model U...
