Optical sensing of plankton communities and dynamics

The changing perspective of phytoplankton dynamics thanks to profiling floats. Tuesday 8th @ 0950-1010, Conference Room 7 Emmanuel Boss* , University of Maine Presenter Email: emmanuel.boss@maine.edu |
Float equipped with optical sensors have different time-space sampling characteristics compared to satellites and cruise-based observations of phytoplankton. As a result, our understanding of phytoplankton annual cycles and the contrasting dynamics of chlorophyll and biomass are changing. Through several case studies I will illustrate how observations with profiling floats have changed our understanding of phytoplankton dynamics. |
