1. Introduction We found fairly good correlations between euphotic zone-IP and the products of sea surface chlorophyll a concentration，PBopt and K-1d . These findings may have been because of the nature of the ECS which is considered a highly dynamic region by virtue of the seasonal fluctuations of different water masses. Earlier, a variety of empirical relationships, mostly based on SST, has been described for PBopt . The one developed here, however, is distinct in that it can also be based on sea surface irradiance. In future, a more mechanistic model for PBopt; one that not only accounts for observed variations but that also highlights the primary driving factors which lead to changes in the assimilation efficiencies, should be sought. Such a model would provide guidance for future remote sensing missions and for other observational programs whose common mission is to determine the critical physical and chemical characteristics of various water masses and thereby evaluate carbon fixation.

PBopt model The relative difference between PBopt and the surface water specific primary productivity was, on average, less than 10%. The primary factors regulating PBopt are seawater temperature and the availability of solar irradiance (Li, 1980; Cullen, 1990).

Conclusions This implies that the unique empirical production model that is presented here can be further applied for the estimation of primary production based on satellite information. * * * * An empirical primary production model for the East China Sea東海基礎生產力經驗模式 Gwo-Ching Gong*, Gong-Jen Liu Reporter:廖怡婷 09/04/13 國科會「黑潮與東海陸棚交換過程研究 」(ROC-KEEP
