Spring phytoplankton photosynthesis, growth, and primary production and relationships to a recurrent coastal sediment plume and river inputs in southeastern Lake Michigan
[1] A recurrent coastal sediment plume (RCP) is an episodic event in the southern basin of Lake Michigan that typically coincides with the spring diatom bloom. Strong winter storm activity during El Niño conditions in 1998 resulted in a large and intense RCP event. Consistently higher values of the light-saturated rate of photosynthesis, Pmax B , were observed in spring 1998 compared to 1999 an...
متن کاملCold front acceleration over Lake Michigan
High-resolution Eta Model simulations of a strong but relatively dry late winter surface cold front that occurred during the STORM-FEST project depicted a pronounced acceleration of the front during the afternoon hours over the southern end of Lake Michigan. In this note, the impact of the lake on the front is examined. Reduced lower atmosphere turbulence due to both thermal stabilization and d...
متن کاملModeling the effect of invasive quagga mussels on the spring phytoplankton bloom in Lake Michigan
Index words: Numerical modeling Lake Michigan Phytoplankton Quagga mussels The disappearance of the spring phytoplankton bloom in Lake Michigan has been attributed in some studies to the direct effect of quagga mussel filter-feeding. We applied a biophysical model to test whether the observed reduction in the spring bloom can be explained by direct effects of quagga mussel grazing. We developed...
متن کاملAn event-driven phytoplankton bloom in southern Lake Michigan observed by satellite
[1] Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) images from June 1998 show a surprising early summer phytoplankton bloom in southern Lake Michigan that accounted for approximately 25% of the lake’s annual gross offshore algal primary production. By combining the satellite imagery with in situ measurements of water temperature and wind velocity we show that the bloom was triggered by a brief...
متن کاملDoughnut in the desert: Late-winter production pulse in southern Lake Michigan
Contrary to expectations of fairly uniform and unstratified waters, sea-viewing wide field-of-view sensor (SeaWiFS) and moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery revealed a spatially complex chlorophyll a pattern, termed the ‘‘doughnut,’’ in southern Lake Michigan during March to April. Phosphorusrich coastal waters and sediments are entrained along gyre convergence zones an...
