What is Chlorophyll fluorescence? Chlorophyll-a (Chl) is a ubiquitous plant pigment It dissipates some of its absorbed energy as photons (i.e., fluorescence) 1 Chl* 1O2*1O2* 3 Chl* O2O2 h Chl 1.Photochemistry 2.Heat 3.Fluorescence

What is Chlorophyll fluorescence? Chlorophyll-a (Chl) is a ubiquitous plant pigment It dissipates some of its absorbed energy as photons (i.e., fluorescence) Fluorescent even under natural sunlight Fluoresced radiation is discernable in upwelled radiant flux A typical ocean reflectance spectra Chl

Band 13Band 14Band 15 MODIS Fluorescence Line Height (FLH) A geometric definition Can be related to total fluoresced flux (e.g., Huot et al., 2005)

Alternative & independent measure of chlorophyll (particularly in coastal environments) Improved NPP estimates Index of phytoplankton physiology -Pigment Packaging -Non-photochemical quenching -Nutrient stress effects -Photoacclimation Why MODIS FLH?

Three primary factors regulate global phytoplankton fluorescence distributions: (1) pigment concentrations (2) “pigment packaging”, a self-shading phenomenon influencing light absorption efficiencies (Duysens 1956; Bricaud et al., 1995, 1998). (3) a photoprotective response aimed at preventing high- light damage (i.e., “nonphotochemical quenching”, NPQ) Fluorescence Basics

Westberry - MODIS Science Team Meeting 2011 iPAR (  mol quanta m -2 s -1 ) #1: Unique consequences of iron stress - Over-expression of pigment complexes - Increases in PSII:PSI ratio 1. Chlorophyll = PSII & PSI 2. Fluorescence = PSII 3. φ increases with PSII:PSI ratio #2: Photoacclimation - Low light = enhanced NPQ at any given iPAR  lower φ What do we expect in remaining variability?
