State of the climate in 2010 (2011, background): “Chl provides a measure of phytoplankton pigments and its variability reflects the combined influences of changes in phytoplankton biomass and its physiological responses to light and nutrient levels (e.g., Falkowski 1984; Behrenfeld et al. 2005).”
Optical oceanography: Recent advances and future directions using global remote sensing and in situ observations (2006, background): “…measure light beam c to derive suspended sediment volume, phytoplankton biomass, and concentrations of particulate organic carbon (POC) [Bishop et al., 1999; Gardner et al., 2001] and productivity in the form of POC [e.g., Siegel et al., 1989; Cullen et al., 1992; Behrenfeld et al., 2005].”
Gelatinous zooplankton biomass in the global oceans: geographic variation and environmental drivers (2014, methodology): “…and zooplankton median biomass are 56 mg C m−3 (Boyce et al., 2010; where mg Chl a is converted to C using median Chl:C of 0.01 according to Behrenfeld et al., 2005) and 4.18 mg C m−3 (Table A1 in Strömberg et al. (2009), where biomass is modelled from primary production and transfer…”
Phytoplankton growth and the interaction of light and temperature: A synthesis at the species and community level (2016, background): “If a variable Chl:C is used instead, derived from the remote sensing model of Behrenfeld et al. (2005), the results are very similar (Supporting Information Fig.”
Relating coccolithophore calcification rates to phytoplankton community dynamics: Regional differences and implications for carbon export (2007, background): “Variability of the C:Chl is linked to the growth conditions (nutrients, light availability) of the phytoplankton cells (Geider et al., 1998; Behrenfeld et al., 2005).”
Particle optical backscattering along a chlorophyll gradient in the upper layer of the eastern South Pacific Ocean (2007, methodology): “1 mg m−3, one formulated by Morel and Maritorena (2001) and the other by Behrenfeld et al. (2005). The latter is based on simultaneous retrievals of [Chl] andbbp(λ) from remotely sensed ocean color radiometric data. Our present experimental findings, which are based on coincident in situ measurement”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, methodology): “…of the amount of algal chlorophyll in the upper portion of the water column, converted to eNPP using algorithms such as the vertically generalized production model (VGPM; Behrenfeld and Falkowski 1997, Behrenfeld et al. 2001) or subsequent modifications (e.g., Behrenfeld et al. 2005, 2006).”
Carbon‐to‐chlorophyll ratio for phytoplankton in temperate coastal waters: Seasonal patterns and relationship to nutrients (2016, background): “Yet know seasonal minimum and maximum C:Chl a were required to make this model to function properly (Behrenfeld et al. 2005).”
Combined constraints on global ocean primary production using observations and models (2013, methodology): “More recently, global NPP has been estimated using remote sensing of surface chlorophyll [Antoine et al., 1996; Behrenfeld and Falkowski, 1997; Mélin, 2003] or surface carbon [Behrenfeld et al., 2005].”
Beam attenuation and chlorophyll concentration as alternative optical indices of phytoplankton biomass (2006, positive): “Behrenfeld et al. (2005) analyzed satellite chlorophyll and b bp data from the Sea-viewing Wide Field of View Sensor (SeaWiFS) and found regional Chl: b bp ratios to vary in a manner consistent with anticipated physiological responses of phytoplankton to changing light, nutrient, and temperature…”
Colored dissolved organic matter and its influence on the satellite‐based characterization of the ocean biosphere (2005, methodology): “Finally, a path for retrieving information on growth rates from space has recently been developed that is based on phytoplankton chlorophyll-to-carbon ratios derived from GSM absorption and backscattering products [Behrenfeld et al., 2005].”
