CbPM (1) - Overview
1. Invert ocean color data to estimate Chl a & bbp(443)
(Garver & Siegel, 1997; Maritorena et al., 2001)
2. Relate bbp(443) to phytoplankton carbon biomass, C
3. Use Chl:C to infer physiology (photoacclimation & nutrient stress)
4. Estimate phytoplankton growth rate () and NPP
Carbon-based Production Model (CbPM)
(Behrenfeld et al., 2005; Westberry et al., submitted to GBC)

CbPM (2) – Details
We can push model verticallythrough the water column:
• Spectral accounting for underwater light field
• Cells photoacclimate through the water column
• Nutrient-stress decays as nitracline is neared (using climatological nutrient fields)

CbPM (5) – ∫NPP Patterns
NPP (mg C m-2 d-1)
Onset and peak of blooms can be delayed (~1-2 months)
Spatial (and temporal) patterns of NPP are different compared to Chl-based model (VGPM, Behrenfeld & Falkowski,
1997)VGPM – CbPM (Jun – Aug)

NPP to Export – empirical (1)
• Annual particle export predicted from Laws et al. (2000)
Zonal regions as in Yoder et al. (1993)

NPP to Export – END
• CbPM provides critical pieces of information for diagnosing export from satellite (, C, NPP)
• Haven’t solved the whole problem … yet
• Can estimate time varying fields of export (and recycling)

How to assess export?
1. Apply **new** CbPM patterns to existing empirical export algorithms (i.e., Laws et al., 2000; Dunne et al., 2005)
2. Use biomass (C) and growth rate () in addition to NPP to construct a mass balance for phytoplankton C in the mixed layer
![Page 24: From satellite-based primary production to export production Toby K. Westberry 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814e6c550346895dbc0867/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NPP to Export – nutrient constraints
• surface NO3 (SSN) ~ 0
- dC/dt < 0 ---- (export)
• SSN ~ 0 & dNO3/dt > 0
- dC/dt > 0
- dC/dt ~ 0 & d/dt > 0 ----(recycling)
- dC/dt ~ 0 & d/dt ~ 0 ---- (export)
• SSN > 0 & dNO3/dt < 0
- similar to above
• SSN > 0 & dNO3/dt ≥ 0 - light or Fe limitation ….??

NPP to Export – mechanistic (2)
Considerations
1. Are there nutrients IN the mixed layer?
2. Were nutrients entrained into the mixed layer? Drawn down?
4. Was there an increase in biomass? Decrease?
5. Was there an increase in growth rate? Decrease?
