Using this website… http://jules.unavco.org/VoyagerJr/Earth?submit.x=50&submit.y=10&base=facer&feature=nofeat&fixplate=novel&veltype=model&legendPopup=yes®ion=world_0_0&size=normal Scroll the Base Map options to see the SeaWiFS maps. SeaWiFS is a satellite that measures many variables in Earth’s ocean life and land life, along with reflectivity of sunlight. The term “bio” here refers to the amount of plant-type life in the oceans and on land by measuring the concentration of chlorophyll produced. This is also a measure of “primary productivity”. The term “reflect” refers to the reflectivity of Earth’s surface by water, ice, snow, soil, vegetation, etc. Both of these variables change with the seasons. Change your base map to SeaWiFS Bio Jan-Mar. Open the link called Legend and use the Chlorophyll value (you might have to do this repeatedly). 10. Estimate the amount of “primary productivity” in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) in the ocean at about the latitude of Ireland in the North Atlantic, for the Jan-Mar period of time.

Explanation / Answer

10) Chlorophyll amount during Jan-Mar:- 1mg/m3
