Sentinel-3 OLCI Photosynthetically Active Radiation ATBD
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) reaching the ocean surface is defined as the quantum energy flux from the Sun in the spectral range 400-700 nm; units are Einstein/m2/day. PAR is essential for the carbon-cycle modellers to convert the measured chlorophyll concentration into an estimate of ocean productivity, and hence of carbon sequestration.
