Short summary
Estimation of particulate organic carbon (POC) relies on proxies like the particulate backscattering coefficient (bbp) derived from BioGeoChemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats and satellite data. BGC-Argo floats provide global insights into vertical bio-optical dynamics. This study integrates Sentinel-3 OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) data and machine learning approaches to improve bbp estimates in the top 250 m of the water column. The results differ based on the dynamics of the study areas.
