In aquatic optics and phytoplankton ecology, chlorophyll-a has long been the go-to proxy for estimating biomass and productivity. However, as our understanding of aquatic ecosystems deepens, so does our need for more nuanced tools. One such tool is Sequoia’s hyperspectral absorption meter, the Hyper-a, measuring in situ absorption from 300 nm to 710 nm. This measurement offers a more detailed view of phytoplankton physiology, community structure, and environmental stress.
