Parameterization of Light Absorption of Phytoplankton, Non-Algal Particles and Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter in the Atlantic Region of the Southern Ocean (Austral Summer of 2020)
Climate affects the characteristics of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, including bio-optical properties. Remote sensing is a suitable approach for monitoring a rapidly changing ecosystem. Correct remote assessment can be implemented based on a regional satellite algorithm, which requires parameterizat...

Climate affects the characteristics of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, including bio-optical properties. Remote sensing is a suitable approach for monitoring a rapidly changing ecosystem. Correct remote assessment can be implemented based on a regional satellite algorithm, which requires parameterization of light absorption by all optically active components. The aim of this study is to analyse variability in total chlorophyll a concentration (TChl-a), light absorption by phytoplankton, non-algal particles (NAP), coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and coloured detrital matter (CDM = CDOM+NAP), to parameterize absorption by all components. Bio-optical properties were measured in the austral summer of 2020 according to NASA Protocols (2018). High variability (1–2 orders of magnitude) in TChl-a, absorption of phytoplankton, NAP, CDOM, and CDM was revealed. High variability in both CDOM absorption (uncorrelated with TChl-a) and CDOM share in total non-water absorption, resulting in a shift from phytoplankton to CDOM dominance, caused approximately twofold chlorophyll underestimation by global bio-optical algorithms. The light absorption of phytoplankton (for the visible domain in 1 nm steps), NAP, CDOM, and CDM were parametrized. Relationships between the spectral slope coefficient (SCDOM/SCDM) and CDOM (CDM) absorption were revealed. These results can be useful for the development of regional algorithms for Chl-a, CDM, and CDOM monitoring in the Southern Ocean. |
