The Northeast Monsoon's impact on mixing, phytoplankton biomass and nutrient cycling in the Arabian Sea
In the northern Arabian Sea, atmospheric conditions during the Northeast (winter) Monsoon lead to deep convective mixing. Due to the proximity of the permanent pycnocline to the sea surface, this mixing does not penetrate below 125 m. However, a strong nitracline is also present and the deep convection results in signi"cant nitrate #ux into the surface waters. This leads to nitrate concentratio...
متن کاملPhytoplankton Growth and Regulation in the Labrador Sea: Light and Nutrient Limitation
The importance of light and nutrients in regulating phytoplankton growth in the Labrador Sea was evaluating using climatological data, 12 years of measurements made as part of the Labrador Sea Monitoring Program (LSMP) and physiological information from the literature. Light limits primary production and phytoplankton growth much of the year, even during summer when surface irradiance is at its...
متن کاملPoor correlation between phytoplankton community growth rates and nutrient concentration in the sea
Nutrient availability is one of the major factors regulating marine productivity and phytoplankton community structure. While the response of phytoplankton species to nutrient variation is relatively well known, that of phytoplankton community remains unclear. We question whether phytoplankton community growth rates respond to nutrient concentration in a similar manner to phytoplankton species ...
متن کاملIntense stratification leads to phytoplankton nutrient limitation and reduced microzooplankton grazing in the southeastern Bering Sea
During July and August 2004, we used the seawater dilution technique to investigate relationships stratified. Compared with previous observations in the subarctic Pacific and Bering Sea, mixed-layer phytoplankton growth rates were typical (average 0.35d ) while microzooplankton grazing rates were low (average 0.13 d ). Phytoplankton growth rates were strongly nutrient-limited, increasing to an ...
متن کاملNutrient status of snow cover and sea ice in the southern Sea of Okhotsk
Samples of sea ice and snow cover on sea ice were collected with the icebreaker P/V Soya in early February 2007 in the southern Sea of Okhotsk in order to evaluate the amount of nutrients in the sea ice and snow. The concentration of nitrate + nitrite, phosphate and silicic acid in the samples was measured in conjunction with such physical parameters as temperature, salinity, oxygen isotopic ra...
