Phytoplankton bloom triggered by eddy-wind interaction in the upwelling region east of Hainan Island

Coastal Upwelling Under Anthropogenic Influence Drives the Community Change, Assembly Process, and Co‐Occurrence Pattern of Coral Associated Microorganisms

“…The Qiongdong upwelling (QDU) is a typical seasonal coastal upwelling driven by the summer monsoon that occurs from June to September at the east coast of the Hainan Island in the northwest of the South China Sea (Zhu et al., 2022b). Although the impact of upwelling on coral reef microbiome remains to be further studied (G. Zhou et al., 2017), the upwelling in the South China Sea is known to affect the growth of phytoplankton (Hu et al., 2021), composition of seawater microorganism (X. Liu et al., 2021; Zhu et al., 2022a), and coral community (X. Li et al., 2015; Zhu et al., 2022b). The Hainan Island has an excellent natural environment for exploring the impact of upwelling on coral reef microbiome, because the environmental gradient from the coastal upwelling to non‐upwelling zone is in a compact spatial area (Zhu et al., 2022a), which helps elucidate how the coral reef microbiome establishes and maintains communities to adapt to the upwelling environment.…”

Seasonal Variability of Phytoplankton Biomass Revealed by Satellite and BGC‐Argo Data in the Central Tropical Indian Ocean

“…A deep understanding of ocean carbon sink requires the study and scientific assessment of phytoplankton abundance in the euphotic layer where phytoplankton live and grow (Richardson & Bendtsen, 2019; Uitz et al., 2006). Most research over recent decades, however, focused on the near‐surface water by using satellite data (Behrenfeld, 2014; Behrenfeld et al., 2016; Boyce et al., 2010; Gregg et al., 2005; Hu, Chen, Huang, & Zhou, 2021; Liu et al., 2021). However, satellite‐derived Chl a only accounts for one‐fifth of the total Chl a content within the euphotic layer (Cullen, 2015; Sammartino et al., 2018), failing to capture phytoplankton biomass variability below the surface.…”

Multiple mechanisms for chlorophyll-a concentration variations in coastal upwelling regions: A case study east of Hainan Island in the South China Sea

“…Southwesterly monsoon-induced coastal upwelling is suggested to be the major mechanism for the relatively high summertime phytoplankton biomass and primary production (Liu et al, 2013;Song et al, 2012). Moreover, Hu et al (2021) found that eddy processes could strengthen phytoplankton blooms in the HEC. The variation in the basin circulation may also https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2022-969 Preprint.…”
