Spatial variability in drainage basin DOC fluxes : Is there a relationship to remotely- sensed measurements? Joe Salisbury (UNH) Jacqui Aitkenhead-Peterson (UNH) Janet Campbell (UNH) L. David Meeker (UNH) Frank Muller-Karger (USF) Charlie Vorosmarty (UNH)

Kennebec: m = Penobscot: m = nm. (m-1) Salinity (psu) Advertised title: Coastal river plumes in the Gulf of Maine: Linking salinity vs. absorption relationships to terrestrial DOC fluxes

Outline: 1. Drainage basin plume identification 2. DOC flux model 3. Previous work with NEGOM data 4. Salinity – CDOM relationships in the Gulf of Maine 5. Relationship to drainage basin DOC fluxes

Aitkenhead-McDowell DOC flux model - relates soil C:N ratio to DOC flux (kg hectare -1 year -1 ) - Biome-based Results for several rivers entering the northern Gulf of Mexico DOC Index – The Aitkenhead-McDowell modeled flux divided by climatological runoff. Same units as concentration (mg l -1 ) Perhaps similar to average concentration

ag443 vs. salinity within individual plumes (NEGOM-3) to Right – rescaled for detail

Salinity versus CDOM for 9 Maine Rivers

Conclusions: 1.Relationships between ag and salinity appear to be local 2.The slope of this relationship is often related to the DOC endmember concentration and its proxy – the DOC index Why we’re continuing work on this : Hope to develop localized algorithms that would enable the retrieval of surface DOC concentration via remotely sensed data

The end This work was supported by NASA's Office of Earth Sciences through a grant entitled "A satellite-based system for monitoring biogeochemical fluxes between the continental land mass and the coastal ocean" (NAG , C. Vorosmarty, P.I.), and by the NOAA Coastal Services Center through an award to the UNH Center for Coastal Ocean Observation and Analysis (COOA). (NOAA award NA16OC2740).
