Calculations of Arctic Ice‐Ocean Interface Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) Transmittance Values

Abstract Sea ice algae play an important role in the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, driving primary production in the spring and sequestering carbon to the deep ocean. Up to 45% of Arctic Ocean primary production occurs in ice‐covered areas; photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is fundamental to drivi...
