Abstract:
Satellite Phytoplankton Functional Type Algorithm Intercomparison Workshop; Sapporo, Japan, 22–23 November 2011 Satellite observations of ocean color have become synonymous with derivations of chlorophyll a concentration as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. In addition, a number of satellite algorithms for estimating the phytoplankton community structure have been developed that provide size‐structure estimates of phytoplankton and detect taxonomic groups (termed phytoplankton functional types, or PFTs). These new algorithms provide an increased level of observational detail for ecosystem and biogeochemical studies of the role of phytoplankton in marine systems.
