Primary Production: Sensitivity to Surface Irradiance and Implications for Archiving Data

Primary Production: Sensitivity to Surface Irradiance and Implications for Archiving Data

An equation is derived to express the sensitivity of daily, watercolumn production by phytoplankton in the ocean to variations in irradiance at the sea surface. Assuming no spectral effects, and a vertically uniform chlorophyll profile, the sensitivity is a function only of the dimensionless irradia...
