ESTIMATION OF VERTICAL PROFILE OF CHLOROPHYLL CONCENTRATION AROUND THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA DERIVED FROM CZCS IMAGES BY THE STATISTICAL METHOD (18th Symposium on Polar Biology)

The vertical profile of chlorophyll concentration in waters around the Antarctic Peninsula was estimated using a statistical method (Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis: EOF Analysis), analyzing more than 200 ship observations from the surface to 150 m. Also a method is established to predict the...

Description
Summary:The vertical profile of chlorophyll concentration in waters around the Antarctic Peninsula was estimated using a statistical method (Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis: EOF Analysis), analyzing more than 200 ship observations from the surface to 150 m. Also a method is established to predict the vertical profile from CZCS-derived concentration. The comparison in terms of vertical profile demonstrates good agreement (relative error=40%) between CZCS prediction and ship-observation. The prediction by the model only needs one input, surface chlorophyll concentration, which can be easily derived from the satellite remote sensing data.
