| Abstract: | To estimate chlorophyll biomass from satellite-derived data, we established an empirical model for the estimation of the chlorophyll
vertical profile as a function of surface chlorophyll for four separate regions of the Sanriku area, using algorithms based
upon ship observations from 1986 to 1995. The modeled profiles compared well with observations during the Sanriku Field Campaign.
Chlorophyll biomass in the Sanriku Area estimated by a combination of OCTS data and the model varied from 2.6×104 t in the Oyashio water to 8.2×103 t in the Kuroshio water. |
