Brown#, Ajit Subramaniam± *Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), University of Maryland, College Park, USA +Departement of Chemistry, University of Maryland, College Park, USA #National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA ± Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Palisades, USA Introduction Large amounts of carbon as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) are annually transferred from continents to the ocean through rivers. DOC in the ocean can play a very important role in the global carbon cycle, being comparable to carbon in the atmosphere. Yet, the spatial distribution and variability of carbon sources and sinks at regional to global scales is far from being precisely quantified. Background Background Is this seasonal change in CDOM absorption evident from ocean color measurements? Methods Employ the Johannessen et al. algorithm (2003) to convert L3 images of monthly averaged normalized water leaving radiance (nLw(l)) to aCDOM(l) images from 1997 to 2003 Estimate the spatial/temporal CDOM absorption deficits (Da) caused by photobleaching ……… [Da=(aCDOMmonth-aCDOMref)/aCDOMref] Convert Da to estimates of photochemical production of carbon to CO2 CO2 photoproduction = ∫ (aCDOMref-aCDOMmonth) * M where M = mld * 0.15 / a*CDOM (g of C/m2/integrated…...)
