In situ chl. (left) and model chl. (right): Nov, 2006 (top)Oct-Nov, 2005 (bottom)
Question • How we define/measure POM? • In situ: phy+zoo(?%)+detritus(size?) • Satellite: phy+zoo(?%)+detritus(size?) • Model outputs: • Phy+zoo+large detritus • Phy+50%(ZS+DS)+DL • Phy+total detritus
Summary • Larger spatial & temporal variations in Eco-model than Cb-model • Eco-model over-estimates spatial variability or under-estimates magnitudes in warm waters • Cb-model under-estimates temporal variability • Similarity: • NPP>C:Chl>PhytoC, chl., growth rate
