Seasonal variability of primary production off Abashiri, the southern Okhotsk Sea
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Okhotsk Sea is the southernmost marginal sea that is ice-covered during winter; therefore, it is considered to be an area having sensitive environmental characteristics due to the influence of global warming. In order to detect such environmental changes, monitoring of oceanographic conditions is considered important. However, few monitoring studies have been made in the offshore area of the Okhotsk Sea due to difficulties making observations in the ice-cover season.

Recent Studies of the Sea of Okhotsk
We recently have had a Japan-Russia-United States International Joint Project, 1997-2002. In this project, we have carried out intensive oceanographic observations in the almost entire Sea of Okhotsk for the first time, using a Russian research vessel; we have had four times cruises, changing seasons. This report summarizes several new findings for the Sea of Okhotsk which were obtained by this...
متن کاملInvestigation of Oil Spill Distribution in the Southern Caspian Sea Affected by Seasonal Variability Impacts
Because of environmental sensitivity of the Caspian Sea, any subsea oil spills and blowouts can inflict destructive impacts on marine environment and cause catastrophic damage in the area. Employing mathematical simulation is one of the easiest and most effective prediction tools for understanding the oil spill behavior under various environmental forces. In this regard, Mike3D simulation packa...
متن کاملSeasonal dynamics of bacterial growth efficiencies in relation to phytoplankton in the southern North Sea
The main function of heterotrophic bacterioplankton in marine carbon cycling is the conversion of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) into biomass and CO2. The relative importance of bacterial biomass production (BP) versus respiration (BR) is expressed by the bacterial growth efficiency (BGE = BP/(BP + BR) × 100). Studies on the dynamics of the BGE of bacterioplankton growing on natural DOC coverin...
متن کاملThe impacts of seasonal water discharge fluctuations on benthic communities on the productivity and the consumption of Tajan Estuary, southern coast of the Caspian Sea
In the present study, changes in benthic communities due to seasonal changes in the water of the southern Caspian Basin were investigated. Sampling was conducted monthly, from March 2006 to March 2007, at six selected stations in Tajan River mouth located on south eastern Caspian Sea. Also secondary benthic production consumable for fish and other biota inhabiting the mouth and adjacent areas w...
متن کاملSpatial patterns of intraseasonal variability of chlorophyll and sea surface temperature in the California Current
[1] Six years of daily satellite data are used to quantify and map intraseasonal variability of chlorophyll and sea surface temperature (SST) in the California Current. We define intraseasonal variability as temporal variation remaining after removal of interannual variability and stationary seasonal cycles. Semivariograms are used to quantify the temporal structure of residual time series. Emp...
