Contrasting Photophysiological Characteristics of Phytoplankton Assemblages in the Northern South China Sea
The growth of phytoplankton and thus marine primary productivity depend on photophysiological performance of phytoplankton cells that respond to changing environmental conditions. The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea of the western Pacific and plays important roles in modulating regional climate and carbon budget. However, little has been documented on photophysiological charac...
متن کاملStudy of phytoplankton community in coastal waters of Hormozgan province, Qeshm and Leangeh Islands
The study of spatial and temporal variability of distribution of phytoplankton communities in Northern part of the Persian Gulf (Qeshm andLengeh Islands) was studied. In this study, five groups (47 genera) of phytoplankton include Bacillariophyceae, Dinophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Crysophyceae and Euglenophyceae were identified. The results showed that Diatoms group (79.6 %) and Rhizosolenia genus (...
متن کاملA preliminary study of the variation of phytoplankton absorption coefficients in the northern South China Sea
The temporal and spatial variabilities of phytoplankton absorption coefficients (aph(λ)) and their relationships with physical processes in the northern South China Sea were examined, based on in situ data collected from two cruise surveys during May 14 to 25, 2001 and November 2 to 21, 2002. Significant changes in the surface water in aph values and B/R ratios (aph(440)/aph(675)) were observed...
متن کاملInversion of spectral absorption coefficients to infer phytoplankton size classes, chlorophyll concentration, and detrital matter.
Measured spectral absorption coefficients were inverted to infer phytoplankton concentration in three size classes (picoplankton, nanoplankton, and microplankton), chlorophyll concentration [Chl], and both magnitude and spectral shape of absorption by colored detrital matter (CDM). Our algorithm allowed us to solve for the nonlinear factor of CDM absorption slope separately from the other linea...
متن کاملChanges of temperature and bio-optical properties in the South China Sea in response to Typhoon Lingling, 2001
[1] A large patch of enhanced chlorophyll a concentration (Chla), lower sea surface temperature (SST), and lower sea surface height (SSH) was revealed in the central South China Sea (SCS) in November 2001 after the passage of typhoon Lingling. Maximum SST reduction of 11 C occurred one day after Lingling’s passage on 11/11. Subsequently, against a background level of 0.08 mg/m, average Chla wit...
