Based on this approach, the calculation of chlorophyll concentration can be achieved via the simultaneous measurement of two optical variables: 1) the incident irradiance (which drives photosynthesis) and 2) the upwelling red radiance, which results from the fluorescence of the phytoplankton crop.
The 405-nm LED was less effective than the 461-nm LED due to its low irradiance. However, in terms of dose it turned out to be more lethal.
Since (the year in which global data on temperature was first complete enough to build a credible baseline), solar irradiance and global temperature data has been compiled.
