Relationship between irradiance and photosynthesis at primary
production sites, Antarctic, GLOBEC
Water samples, drawn from CTD rosette bottle casts, were used
for primary production experiments to construct light-saturation curves
for the local phytoplankton assemblages, Apr-Jun 2001. These curves
relate the photosynthesis per unit chlorophyll to the irradiance. Based
on values extracted from the light-saturation curves, the maximum rate of
photosynthesis (at a given incubation temperature and light-limiting
conditions) and the irradiance level at this max rate are reported. The
general sampling area includes: the continental shelf to the west of the
Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to
the southern portion of Alexander Island, and Marguerite Bay.
