An overview of physical and biogeochemical processes and ecosystem dynamics in the Taiwan Strait
topography, alternating monsoon forcing and conjunction of several current systems [such as the Zhejiang–Fujian (Zhe–Min) Coastal Current, the Kuroshio intrusion and the extension of the South China Sea Warm Current], the physical and biogeochemical processes and ecosystem dynamics in the Taiwan Strait vary significantly both in space and in time. Our recent interdisciplinary studies, combining...
متن کاملSize-fractionated primary productivity and the phytoplankton-bacteria relationship in the Taiwan Strait
Size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass, primary productivity, photosynthetic dissolved organic carbon (PDOC), vertical distribution of pico-, nano-, and microphytoplankton, and the relationship with bacteria were studied in the Taiwan Strait during 2 cruises conducted in August 1994 and February-March 1995. Nanophytoplankton (3 to 20 pm) dominated the community in the northern Taiwan Strait (N...
متن کاملShort-term variability of chlorophyll associated with upwelling events in the Taiwan Strait during the southwest monsoon of 1998
SeaWiFS chlorophyll and AVHRR SST time series as well as in situ measurements in August 1998 were used to evaluate short-term variability of chlorophyll associated with upwelling events in the western Taiwan Strait. The extent of eutrophic waters (SeaWiFS Chlorophyll41mg=m), colder upwelling waters, and upwelling index were calculated for the western strait and for the northern and southern por...
متن کاملPhysico-biological modeling of seasonal changes of plankton community in south of Hormoz strait
Planktons are floating microscopic organisms that are confirmed as the primary producers and initial transporters of carbon to the higher levels of food webs. Moreover, planktons have an special importance and status in the habitat of aquatic ecosystems and therefore, their population dynamic assessment is essential in the study of these ecosystems. An extensive range of physical factors viz. n...
متن کاملDynamics and size structure of phytoplankton in the coastal waters of Singapore
In this paper, a study on phytoplankton dynamics and size in the tropical coastal waters of Singapore is presented. Chlorophyll-a levels in the Singapore Strait generally range from 0.4 to 10 μg l–1, with an average value of 1.7 μg l–1. In general, higher chlorophyll concentrations are typically found off the east coast of Singapore, as well as in the shallower, more protected waters of the Joh...
