Effect of the oxygen minimum zone on the second chlorophyll maximum

Field data collected during June 2005 were used to determine the relationship between the second fluorescence maximum (FMax), the top of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ), and physical processes (coastal currents, eddies, and upwelling) in the northern region of the Eastern Tropical Pacific off Mexico (...

Se presentó un segundo FMax en el POTM, el cual se formó sólo cuando el límite superior de la ZMO (9.0 µmol L–1) se sobrepuso con la profundidad del 1% de la banda azul de la irradiancia descendente (Ed490). La presencia del segundo máximo incrementó de 20% a 40% el valor total de la clorofila integrada en la columna de agua. El segundo FMax estuvo ausente en áreas donde agua con mayor oxígeno disuelto transportada por la Corriente de California hizo más profundo el límite superior de la ZMO por debajo del 1% de la Ed490. La Corriente Costera Mexicana transportó Agua Subsuperficial Subtropical con menor concentración de oxígeno, haciendo posible la formación del segundo FMax en su zona de influencia. La variabilidad del segundo FMax debida a procesos físicos de mesoescala estuvo relacionada con la incidencia de surgencias costeras y con remolinos ciclónicos fuera de la influencia del agua de la Corriente de California. 2009-12-08 2021-06-03T03:55:17Z 2021-06-03T03:55:17Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitrado https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/1622 10.7773/cm.v35i4.1622 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7427 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/1622/1785 application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 35 No. 4 (2009); 389-403 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 35 Núm. 4 (2009); 389-403 2395-9053 0185-3880
