4. An investigation is intended to study variability in chlorophyll levels in coastal oceanic waters. It involves two wavelengths, one of which is partially absorbed by water vapor. A representative sample of these measurements would be 1.7, 3.2, 0.8, 2.1, 2.6, 1.5, 0.5, 1.3 mg/m2. A separate set of measurement of the natural variability of water vapor during the same season is put through the chlorophyll algorithm and results in the following set of variations around the average of measured chlorophyll: -0.8, +0.3, -0.1, + 0.7, 0.2, -0.3 mg/m³ (not the same set of measurements so the numbers do not correspond). Given this, what would you calculate as the correct standard deviation for the actual chlorophyll values if not affected by random variation in water vapor?

4. An investigation is intended to study variability in
chlorophyll levels in coastal oceanic waters. It
involves two wavelengths, one of which is partially
absorbed by water vapor. A representative sample
of these measurements would be 1.7, 3.2, 0.8, 2.1,
2.6, 1.5, 0.5, 1.3 mg/m. A separate set of
measurement of the natural variability of water
vapor during the same season is put through the
chlorophyll algorithm and results in the following set
of variations around the average of measured
chlorophyll: -0.8, +0.3, -0.1, + 0.7, 0.2, -0.3 mg/m³
(not the same set of measurements so the numbers
do not correspond). Given this, what would you

actual chlorophyll values if not affected by random
variation in water vapor?
