Seasonal and spatial variability in the CO2 system on the Scotian Shelf (Northwest Atlantic)
a r t i c l e i n f o As part of the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, and nitrate measurements were made throughout the Scotian Shelf in 2007. A shelf-wide assessment of the spatio-temporal variability of the inorganic carbon system was made relying on observations in spring (April) and autumn (October). Over the 6-month period, a combination...
متن کاملThe onset and evolution of a spring bloom on the Scotian Shelf
The spring bloom on the Scotian Shelf is examined using a mooring array deployed from 18 March 2002 to 18 April 2002 to provide physical, chemical, and biological measurements with high temporal and vertical resolution. These measurements are complemented by the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) biweekly occupations of a station near the mooring site (HL2). Results from AZMP sampling and ...
متن کاملWave-Driven Inner-Shelf Motions on the Oregon Coast*
Recent work by S. Lentz et al. documents offshore transport in the inner shelf due to a wave-driven return flow associated with the Hasselmann wave stress (the Stokes–Coriolis force). This analysis is extended using observations from the central Oregon coast to identify the wave-driven return flow present and quantify the potential bias of wind-driven across-shelf exchange by unresolved wave-dr...
متن کاملAtlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) Diet in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and on the Eastern Scotian Shelf
The stomach contents of 68 Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) landed in Port Hood and Canso, Nova Scotia, in 2010, were analyzed to characterize the diet of bluefin tuna at the two locations. Of the sampled fish, 54 stomachs had contents. Pelagic schooling fish such as herring (Clupea harengus) and mackerel (Scomber scombrus) dominated the diets in both regions. However, a number of rare s...
متن کاملDiversity, Abundance and Community Structure of Benthic Macro- and Megafauna on the Beaufort Shelf and Slope
Diversity and community patterns of macro- and megafauna were compared on the Canadian Beaufort shelf and slope. Faunal sampling collected 247 taxa from 48 stations with box core and trawl gear over the summers of 2009-2011 between 50 and 1,000 m in depth. Of the 80 macrofaunal and 167 megafaunal taxa, 23% were uniques, present at only one station. Rare taxa were found to increase proportional ...
