Why are we interested in PIC?

The merged PIC algorithm
Balch et al., 2005 - Two-band algorithm. Uses LUT generated from forward modelling of the optical properties of chlorophyll-a and PIC. Good in relatively low PIC concentrations.
Gordon et al., 2001 - Three-band algorithm. Uses 3 NIR wavebands to estimate atmospheric effects and backscatter from coccolithophores. Good in relatively high PIC concentrations.

Coccolithophores and chlorophyll
Coccolith PIC content = 0.016 pmol C [Poulton et al, 2011]
Bloom PIC content = 0.75 mmol m-3
Assuming 12 coccoliths per cell & 100 loose coccoliths per cell = 112 coccoliths for every cell
Assuming chl content per cell = 0.1pg [Stolte et al, 2000]
Chl contribution to bloom = 0.04 mg m-3
Bloom coccolith total = 0.75x10-3÷ 0.016x10-12 = 4.7x1010 coccoliths m-3 = 47000 ml-1
No. of cells in bloom = 420 cells ml-1
