Evaluation of Trends in Chlorophyll-a Concentration in Response to Climatic Variability in the Eastern Bering Sea from MODIS Puneeta Naik a,b and Menghua Wang a a NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service Center for Satellite Applications and Research College Park, MD 20740, USA b CIRA, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA CoRP Science Symposium 2014 Acknowledgements: We thank Drs. Eurico D’Sa and Calvin Mordy for the in situ data in the Bering Sea.

Study Area  The Bering Sea is among the most productive marine ecosystems in the world that supports nearly half of the U.S fishery catch.  Over the last few decades the Bering Sea has been subjected to large climatic fluctuations and is among the most rapidly changing marine ecosystem.

Study Area Naik and D’Sa, 2010, SPIE Brown et al., 2011, JGR Inter-annual variability in phytoplankton and climate.

The Problem  Large discrepancies between satellite and in-situ measured chlorophyll ‐ a concentrations in the high northern latitudes.  Chlorophyll ‐ a derived for the Bering Sea using global ocean color algorithms are underestimated. While some other study demonstrated that chlorophyll-a was overestimated.  Discrepancies attributed to the lower specific phytoplankton absorption, high CDOM and limited data for the development of algorithms. Naik et al., 2013

Ocean Color Chlorophyll-a Algorithms For e.g. standard OC3M.v6 chlorophyll-a algorithm: r = max[  wN ( 1 )/  wN ( 3 ),  wN ( 2 )/  wN ( 3 )]  wN ( ) =  nL w ( )/F 0 ( ) log 10 [Chl-a (OC3M) ] =  r r 2  r 3  r 4 r = max[  wN (443)/  wN (551),  wN (488)/  wN (551)]

Data and Methods  NOAA-MSL12 ocean color data processing system used to process and produce MODIS-Aqua ocean color products.  In situ Chl-a data - BEST data archive -NSF funded project in the Bering Sea (  In situ normalized water-leaving radiance nL w ( ) - SeaWiFS Bio-optical Archive and Storage System (SeaBASS) ( and a research cruise in July 2008 in the region.  MODIS-Aqua Level-1B data (Collection 6) - NASA MODIS Adaptive Processing System (MODAPS) website (  Sea ice extent data (2003–2012) - National Snow and Ice data center (  Wind speed data - NCEP/NCAR reanalysis project (  MODIS-Aqua Level-2 sea surface temperature (SST) - NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) (

MODIS-Aqua-derived nL w ( )

MODIS-Aqua-derived Chlorophyll-a Overestimated at lower chlorophyll-a and underestimated at higher chlorophyll-a

New Blended Chlorophyll-a Algorithm log 10 [Chl-a (1) ] =   MBR for MBR > 1.4 log 10 [Chl-a (2) ] = r(667,551) for MBR < 1.0 Chl-a = W Chl-a (1) + (1  W) Chl-a (2) W =  MBR for 1.0 ≤ MBR ≤ 1.4 where MBR = max (  wN (443,488)/  wN (551)) where, r(667,551) =  wN (667)/  wN (551)

New Algorithm Performance

Seasonal Chlorophyll-a Patterns

Monthly Chlorophyll-a Regional trends within eastern Bering Sea shelf.

Chlorophyll-a Trends No long term trend in chlorophyll-a but strong covariation with SST and sea ice extent.

Conclusions  The MODIS-Aqua derived radiances using MSL12 showed good agreement with in-situ measured radiances.  Standard and current ocean color algorithms either overestimate or underestimate chlorophyll-a in the Bering Sea.  A new algorithm blending the blue-green ratio and red-green ratio was developed which showed good performance.  Chlorophyll-a exhibited strong seasonal and inter-annual variability closely tied to the physical environment.  No significant difference between ‘warm’ and ‘cold’ years.  No apparent trend of increase or decrease in phytoplankton biomass associated with variability in the physical environment for the 11 years of the study period.  The new blended Chl-a algorithm proposed in this study can be applied to MODIS-Aqua as well as ocean color data from other sensors (e.g., SeaWiFS, VIIRS, etc.).
