Spatiotemporal patterns of N<sub>2</sub> fixation in coastal waters derived from rate measurements and remote sensing

چکیده
Abstract. Coastal lagoons are important sites for nitrogen (N) removal via sediment burial and denitrification. Blooms of heterocystous cyanobacteria may diminish N retention as dinitrogen (N2) fixation offsets atmospheric losses We measured N2 in the Curonian Lagoon, Europe's largest coastal lagoon, to better understand factors controlling context seasonal changes phytoplankton community composition external inputs. Temporal patterns were primarily determined by abundance cyanobacteria, mainly Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, which became abundant after decline riverine nitrate inputs associated with snowmelt. Heterocystous dominated summer resulting strong correlations between chlorophyll a (Chl a) fixation. used regression models relating Chl a, along remote-sensing-based estimates derive lagoon-scale pelagic was found be significant component lagoon's budget based on comparisons previously derived fluxes inputs, sediment–water exchange, To our knowledge, this is first study ecosystem-scale combining remote sensing empirical rates a.

Remote sensing of suspended sediments and shallow coastal waters
Ocean color sensors were designed mainly for remote sensing of chlorophyll concentrations over the clear open oceanic areas (Case 1 water) using channels between 0.4–0.86 m. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) launched on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Terra and Aqua spacecrafts is equipped with narrow channels located within a wider wavelength range bet...
متن کاملInverse Problems in Optical Remote Sensing of Coastal Waters
The project objectives are: 1) to develop new models of water, bottom, and surface returned LIDAR signals and to develop new mathematical inverse techniques to extract from actual or simulated LIDAR returns the inherent optical properties of water (IOP) and to estimate parameters of internal waves (IW) from IW-induced disturbances of IOP stratification; 2) to develop theoretical mathematical te...
متن کاملHyperspectral Airborne Remote Sensing of the Belgian Coastal Waters
On the 16th of June 2003 a CASI (Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager) hyperspectral airborne remote sensing campaign took place above the Southern North Sea, just offshore of Oostende. In coincidence with the airborne overpasses seaborne measurements of water leaving reflectance and water quality parameters were performed. In addition near-simultaneous satellite imagery are available. This p...
متن کاملTemperature, Salinity and Density Measurements in the Coastal Waters of the Rudsar, South Caspian Sea
CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) data collected in the coastal waters of Rudsar in summer 2008 were analyzed to identify the isothermal layers, thermocline depth and vertical structure of seawater properties. During the survey, probe was released into the seawater column down to 117 m depth. Results showed a vertical variation of temperature between 29°C at the sea surface and less tha...
متن کاملEstimating labile particulate iron concentrations in coastal waters from remote sensing data
[1] Owing to the difficulties inherent in measuring trace metals and the importance of iron as a limiting nutrient for biological systems, the ability to monitor particulate iron concentration remotely is desirable. This study examines the relationship between labile particulate iron, described here as weak acid leachable particulate iron or total dissolvable iron, and easily obtained bio-optic...
