Remote sensing estimation of phytoplankton absorption associated with size classes in coastal waters
As a second-order expression of the phytoplankton absorption coefficient (aph(λ)), the specific absorption coefficient of phytoplankton (aph*(λ)) is an essential optical parameter that refines the aph(λ) normalized by phytoplankton pigment concentration. Based on the in-situ samples collected in the...

As a second-order expression of the phytoplankton absorption coefficient (aph(λ)), the specific absorption coefficient of phytoplankton (aph*(λ)) is an essential optical parameter that refines the aph(λ) normalized by phytoplankton pigment concentration. Based on the in-situ samples collected in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea, this study presents a combined approach to determine the specific absorption coefficients of micro- (am*(λ)), nano- (an*(λ)), and picophytoplankton (ap*(λ)). Together with am*(λ) estimated by the two-component assumption model, our method effectively extracted an*(λ) and ap*(λ) through the least square method. Independent in-situ validation datasets tested the performances of the proposed am*(λ), an*(λ), and ap*(λ) by modeling aph(λ), and generated encouraging and acceptable predictive errors. The derived mean absolute percentage errors ranged from approximately 35%–55% for several typical wavebands (namely, 412, 443, 490, 555, 660, and 680 nm). Validation by using satellite-ground synchronization samples also produced comparative predictive errors. The spatial distribution of aph(λ) and the absorption of micro-, nano-, and picophytoplankton were mapped through applying the proposed specific absorption coefficients to Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) images. This showed a spatial rule that pico- and nanophytoplankton dominate the total absorption, rather than microphytoplankton.

The accurate acquirement of aph(λ) can provide basical datasets for further environment research, such as estimating primary ocean productivity. |
