Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The spatial and temporal variability of phytoplankton biomass, estimated as chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration, is examined in the continental shelf-slope region west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Relationships between temporal observations in the nearshore Palmer Station grid (64°46.77'S, 64°04.36'W) and spatial observations in a larger regional grid 200 km on/off-shore and 900 km alongshore are presented. Average chl-a concentrations in the upper layers of the water column in the immediate vicinity of Palmer Station show strong seasonal and interannual variability. Biomass accumulation typically starts during mid-November, while strong blooms develop from December through January. The 1991/1992 and 1994/1995 seasons developed higher overall chl-a concentrations (average maximum water column values reaching 8 and 16 mg chl-a m-3, respectively) than the 1992/1993 and 1993/1994 seasons (average maximum water column values of less than 3 mg chl-a m-3). The 1994/1995 season of extremely high chl-a concentrations also showed a prolonged bloom period into February, while the 1991/1992 season did not. Similar interannual variability was observed in the regional grid. Average chl-a concentration in the top 30 m was 0.91, 1.24 and 1.66 mg chl-a m-3 for January of 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The regional grid contains an on/off-shore gradient in bottom topography, measured physical and optical characteristics, as well as chl-a concentrations. Regional inshore grid stations in January had, on average, almost four times more chl-a biomass than off-shore stations (2.18 vs. 0.59 mg chl-a m-3, respectively). There is evidence that this on/off-shore gradient is modulated alongshore by latitudinal variability which follows the annual advance and retreat of sea ice.
