text: Considering diatoms are known to dominate the microphytoplankton community in the North Atlantic during the initiation of the spring bloom when SST is still relatively low and nutrient concentrations high (Ducklow and Harris, 1993; Sieracki et al., 1993; Savidge et al., 1995), and that dinoflagellates typically increase in late summer and early autumn (McQuatters-Gollop et al., 2007; Widdicombe et al., 2010) when SST is generally at its highest in the North Atlantic, we investigated the use of SST to partition microplankton chlorophyll (C m ) into diatoms (C diat ) and dinoflagellates (C dino ).
text: The ratio of dinoflagellate chlorophyll (C dino ) to microplankton chlorophyll (C m ) plotted as a function of sea surface temperature (SST).
text: (B) Shows the modeled ratio (Equation 16) multiplied by microplankton chlorophyll (C m ) to estimate C dino , plotted against measured C dino .
text: (C) Shows one minus the modeled ratio (Equation 16) multiplied by microplankton chlorophyll (C m ) to estimate C diat , plotted against measured C diat .
text: Motivated by the need to provide satellite products of phytoplankton groups that match those as defined in ecosystem models, particularly ERSEM (Table 2), we proposed a partitioning of microplankton chlorophyll (C m ) into diatoms (C diat ) and dinoflagellates (C dino ), by modeling the ratio of C dino to C m as a function of SST (Figure 8A).
