Talk outline Project objectives Study site and measurements Some first year results Respiration models Preliminary remote sensing results Conclusions

Project Objectives Primary Objectives: Can microbial respiration be modeled by temperature, chlorophyll, primary production, and DOM? If so, how well can surface water respiration be estimated by satellite remote sensing? Secondary Objectives: What is the balance of planktonic microbial respiration to primary production in a river plume system? How does planktonic food web structure relate to the system metabolic balance?

Gulf of Maine Primary Study Area (GoMOOS C) (GoMOOS B)

Study Methods Monthly cruises from Kennebec River (Bath, Maine) to Portsmouth, NH 5 Stations, surface samples Respiration (24h O 2 incubations) Primary production (12h 14 C incubations) Microplankton and particle analysis FlowCAM, flow cytometry, microscopy Size spectra, >200 µm Chlorophyll, T, S, TOC, POC, ∆ 13 C, nutrients Bacterial single-cell respiration (CTC)

Temperature and Salinity Temperature pattern similar at all stations River and plume stations show spring and fall runoff peaks (low salinity)

Example Gulf of Maine Respiration Images 13 May 2005 SST CHL BR1 (BA) BR2 (BP)

Conclusions Kennebec River plume/Gulf of Maine system is dynamic, biologically rich, and productive Primary production exceeds respiration most of the year, R was 30% of P for the whole system over 1 year. Preliminary estimates of respiration from remote sensing data using ecosystem relationships are within an order of magnitude of in-water measurements, but further analysis and validation are needed.
