Abstract:

Some results are presented of the reconstruction of chlorophyll a concentration from the spectra of upwelling radiation from the sea depth. The results were obtained with the use of different two-band algorithms. The algorithms were applied to processing of experimental data obtained in some regions of the Pacific Ocean. Laser fluorimetry of seawater was performed simultaneously with the measurements of the spectra of upwelling radiation. The data of laser fluorimetry were used to assess the reliability of chlorophyll a concentration calculated by different two-band algorithms. Intercomparison of measured results has allowed us to determine new coefficients in the algorithm with cube polynomials for calculation of chlorophyll a concentration at which the values characterizing the difference between the obtained concentration and the data of laser fluorimetry are minimal.
