| dc.description.abstract | The optimal spectral decomposition (OSD) method is used to reconstruct seasonal variability of the Black Sea horizontally averaged chlorophyll-a concentration from data collected during the NATO SfP-971818 Black Sea Project in 1980–1995. During the reconstruction, quality control is conducted to reduce errors caused by measurement accuracy, sampling strategy, and irregular data distribution in space and time. A bi-modal structure with winter/spring (February–March) and fall (September–October) blooms is uniquely detected and accurately documented. The chlorophyll-a enriched zone rises to 15 m depth in winter and June, and deepens to 40 m in April and 35 m in August. The June rise of the chlorophyll-a enriched zone is accompanying by near continuous reduction of upper layer maximum chlorophyll-a concentration. | en_US |

Testing the iron hypothesis in ecosystems of the equatorial Pacific Ocean
(1994-09);The idea that iron might limit phytoplankton growth in large regions of the ocean has been tested by enriching an area of 64 km in the open equatorial Pacific Ocean with iron. This resulted in a doubling of plant biomass, ...
