“…The extent of the bloom is mapped using satellite data whilst discrete samples, taken from a ferry platform, identified Karenia mikimotoi as the dominant species in the mid July bloom. We examine the spatial and temporal variability of chlorophyll-fluorescence in relation to hydrographic measurements made from Ship Of Opportunity (SOO) operation using a Ferry-box (Hydes et al, 2003;Bargaron et al, 2006;Kelly-Gerreyn et al, 2006;Hartman et al, 2013). A 'time series' extracted from the Ferrybox dataset in the English Channel (49.7°N, 3.4°W) provides temporal coverage at the peak of the Karenia mikimotoi bloom while spatial context is provided by satellite data.…”

a b s t r a c tDuring the final year (2010) of the MV Pride of Bilbao (PoB) ferry operation between Portsmouth (UK) and Bilbao (Spain) a comprehensive phytoplankton data set was collected based on pigments and taxonomy measurements. The work was in support of the EU project ProTool (http://www.protool-project.eu) that aimed to develop an automated system for measuring primary productivity from ships of opportunity. Not unexpectedly, the biological patterns relate to the hydrographic conditions and in general, pigment distributions are indicative of the taxonomy. A predominately diatom bloom was observed in the Bay of Biscay in April, with a mixed population of diatoms, dinoflagellates and coccolithophores throughout the spring and summer, and a very distinctive bloom, which contained a large proportion of the dinoflagellate Karenia Mikimotoi, to the stratified side of the Ushant Front in mid-July.Crown

“…Samples were collected every four hours and stored for later analysis in the laboratory. Continuous temperature, conductivity and chlorophyll afluorescence measurements were obtained from a MINIpack system (Chelsea Technologies Group, UK) installed on the ship (Hydes et al, 2003). The salinity data was calibrated using samples taken every two hours on each researcheroccupied crossing, and analysed at the NOCS calibration laboratory using a salinometer (8400 B Autosal, Guildline, Canada).…”

Contrasting effects of temperature and winter mixing on the seasonal and inter-annual variability of the carbonate system in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean

Abstract. Future climate change as a result of increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations is expected to strongly affect the oceans, with shallower winter mixing and consequent reduction in primary production and oceanic carbon drawdown in low and mid-latitudinal oceanic regions. Here we test this hypothesis by examining the effects of cold and warm winters on the carbonate system in the surface waters of the Northeast Atlantic The inter-annual differences in late winter concentrations of nitrate (2.8 ± 1.1 µmol l −1 ) and dissolved inorganic carbon (22 ± 6 µmol kg −1 ), with higher concentrations at the end of the colder winter (2005/2006), led to differences in the dissolved oxygen anomaly and the chlorophyll a-fluorescence data for the subsequent growing season. In contrast to model predictions, the calculated air-sea CO 2 fluxes (ranging from +3.7 to −4.8 mmol m −2 d −1 ) showed an increased oceanic CO 2 uptake in the Bay of Biscay following the warmer winter of 2006/2007 associated with wind speed and sea surface temperature differences.Correspondence to: E.
