Influence of the phytoplankton community composition on the in situ fluorescence signal: Implication for an improved estimation of the chlorophyll-a concentration from BioGeoChemical-Argo profiling floats

In-situ fluorescence is a widely used method to estimate the chlorophyll-a (Chla) concentration, a proxy of the phytoplankton biomass. With the emergence of autonomous platforms such as BioGeoChemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) profiling floats, its use has expanded to global scale observations. However, the r...
