A Comparison Of Moored And Free-Drifting Sediment Traps Of Two Different Designs, Nick Staresinic, Klaus Von Bröckel, Nenad Smodlaka, C. Hovey Clifford Jan 1982

A Comparison Of Moored And Free-Drifting Sediment Traps Of Two Different Designs, Nick Staresinic, Klaus Von Bröckel, Nenad Smodlaka, C. Hovey Clifford

Journal of Marine Research

The Kiel conical sediment trap and a 3:1 right cylinder were simultaneously deployed in both free-drifting and moored modes on four separate occasions over the Peruvian shelf in order to compare downward flux measurements derived from each….


Daily Patterns Of Fluorescence In Vivo In The Central Equatorial Pacific, Patrick J. Setser, Norman L. Guinasso Jr., David R. Schink Jan 1982

Daily Patterns Of Fluorescence In Vivo In The Central Equatorial Pacific, Patrick J. Setser, Norman L. Guinasso Jr., David R. Schink

Journal of Marine Research

A daily cycle of fluorescence in vivo was strikingly apparent in surface waters of the central equatorial Pacific between latitudes 4N and 10S, but not in waters to the north or south of this zone. These changes in fluorescence did not represent changes in chlorophyll-a concentration, but rather a photoinhibition of fluorescence by ambient light. Higher nutrient and chlorophyll-a concentrations were found in the region where cycling occurred....


Large-Scale Interannual Physical And Biological Interaction In The California Current, Dudley B. Chelton, Patricio A. Bernal, John A. Mcgowan Jan 1982

Large-Scale Interannual Physical And Biological Interaction In The California Current, Dudley B. Chelton, Patricio A. Bernal, John A. Mcgowan

Journal of Marine Research

Thirty years of temperature, salinity, steric height and zooplankton data are examined to explore the potential causes of large-scale biological variability in the California Current. The physical and biological properties are all found to be dominated by a pronounced interannual signal with very large spatial scale....
