LOCO: Characterization of Phytoplankton in Thin Optical Layers
نویسنده
چکیده
Our long-term goal is to understand the ecology of phytoplankton inhabiting coastal shelves, upwelling areas, fjords and banks. We are especially interested in ways in which species-specific properties, including colony size and shape (diatoms) and motility (dinoflagellates) interact with physical mixing processes to regulate spatio-temporal distribution patterns. We wish to understand these processes in sufficient detail to be able to predict bloom dynamics, size structure, and the impact of species-specific characteristics of the phytoplankton on ocean optics.

Layered Organization in the Coastal Ocean: Acoustical Data Acquisition, Analyses and Synthesis
During the late summer and early fall of 2005 and 2006, very thin layers of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and water column physical structure were studied by a part of the LOCO research team at several closely spaced shallow, near-shore stations in northeastern Monterey Bay. Other team members examined larger scale horizontal distributions and temporal thin layer patterns in deeper water nearby, ...
