摘要

Physical, chemical and biological data from the Scotian Shelf indicate that short-term physical events affect the dynamics of spring and fall blooms. This is based on results from a three-week mooring deployment measuring currents, temperature, salinity and fluorescence in October 2000, combined with biweekly sampling of temperature, salinity, nutrients and chlorophyll throughout the year at this mooring site. A wind-driven upwelling event in mid-October shows temperature, salinity and density iso-surfaces rising by approximately 20m. During this event, a bloom with peak chlorophyll concentrations of about 2.5 mg m(-3) began as nutrients are brought into the upper part of the water column. Gradient Richardson Numbers (Ri), a proxy for vertical mixing, are estimated for the mooring period in 2 m vertical bins using SeaHorse CTD data and nearby ADCP current measurements. These data indicate that vertical mixing may have played a complementary role to the upwelling in bringing nutrients into the euphotic zone. A trend of decreasing Ri in the ocean mixed layer with increasing surface wind stress is suggested. It appears that this short-term physical event is a primary factor in initiating the fall bloom on the inner Scotian Shelf in 2000. In April of that year, the termination of the spring bloom coincided with a downwelling event suggesting that it played a role in determining the duration of the bloom. SeaWiFS ocean color satellite provided a spatial context for chlorophyll observations, however, the lack of temporal resolution due to poor atmospheric conditions means that these data provide limited information on short-term chlorophyll variability.
