| Abstract: | The seasonal and spatial distribution of surface chlorophyll a, the deep chlorophyll a maximum (DCM), and integrated chlorophyll a were studied based on samples collected during ten oceanic cruises in the North Atlantic between 1980 and 1987. These data were related to the physical structure and nitracline.
Seasonal variations were present and were more pronounced in surface chlorophyll a (with greatervalues in winter), while integrated chlorophyll a concentrations remained more constant, and the deep
chlorophyll a maximum was always present. The current data suggest some geographical trends: surface chlorophyll a concentrations presented a more pronounced decrease to the south than the integrated chlorophyll
a and deep chlorophyll a maximum concentrations and increased depth of the DCM and nitracline to the south. |
