Phytoplankton Light Absorption Impacted by Photoprotective Carotenoids in a Global Ocean Spectrally‐Resolved Biogeochemistry Model

Abstract The chlorophyll‐specific absorption spectrum of phytoplankton aPH∗(λ) multiplied with phytoplankton chlorophyll provides the total absorption coefficient of phytoplankton [aPH(λ)], a fundamental quantity with significance in many marine biogeochemical (BGC) and environmental processes. Repr...
