  1. ISOPLETHS OF CHLOROPHYLL IN RADIANCE SPACE Janet W. Campbell, Timothy S. Moore, and Mark D. Dowell Ocean Process Analysis Laboratory University of New Hampshire Durham, NH 03824-3525 USA Santa Fe, New Mexico November 21, 2002 This work was supported by a NASA MODIS Team contract (NAS5-96063) and NASA grant (NAG5-6289).

  2. According to a ratio algorithm…. Isopleths of chlorophyll are lines passing through the origin in the plane defined by the two radiances used in the ratio. • CZCS • OC2 • OC3M • OC4 • Lw(443):Lw(550) • R(490):R(555) • max[R(443),R(490)]:R(555) • max[R(443),R(490),R(510)]:R(555)

  3. According to a semi-analytic algorithm … Isopleths of chlorophyll generally do not pass through the origin in planes defined by two radiances. • Gordon et al. 1988 • Garver & Siegel, 1997 • Carder et al. 1999

  4. In this presentation, I will…. • Demonstrate this by comparing • Garver & Siegel (1997) algorithm • OC4 algorithm (O’Reilly et al. 2000) • Show that covariance among optically active constituents reconciles this inconsistency.

  5. Ratio algorithms are strongly supported by empirical data….

  15. Chl = 0.01 0.1 0.3 1 3 10 30 Isopleths of chlorophyll for the OC4 algorithm The Garver&Siegel model was inverted to derive the relationship between adm and bbp along the OC4 isopleths of Chl.

  18. Chl < 0.05Chl = 0.1Chl = 1Chl = 10

  19. CONCLUSIONS • According to semi-analytic models for Case 1 waters, optical properties are governed by three variables (Chl, adm, bbp). Chl isopleths in radiance space do not pass through the origin. • Empirical evidence supports ratio algorithms in which Chlisopleths do pass through the origin. • Covariance between adm and bbp reconciles this discrepancy.

  20. CONCLUSIONS (cont.) • The nature of the relationship between adm and bbp depends on the trophic state: • In oligotrophic waters, there is a negative correlation between adm and bbp. • In eutrophic waters, the correlation is zero or positive. • This might contain a clue as to the nature of the particles that scatter light in the different ocean environments.
