New observations along the continental shelf of Western Australia provide a novel explanation for the established ∼60 years relationship between Leeuwin Current (LC) strength and greater winter nitrate concentrations at 32°S plus the inter-annual variation in the magnitude of the annual, shelf-scale, phytoplankton bloom. The potential source of dissolved nitrogen to support the annual shelf scale phytoplankton bloom was identified as thin layers of an unprecedented areal extent, nitrate concentration and shallow nature that were observed off the northwest of Australia. We propose that the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in these layers enters the LC at depth and then enters the euphotic zone via by three mechanisms: instability that results in a warm core eddy, cooling that deepens the surface mixed layer and shallowing of the thin layer. During the onset of the annual phytoplankton bloom along the west coast of Australia from 22°S to 34°S the poleward flowing LC was clearly evident as a surface intensified ocean boundary current transporting warmer, lower-salinity, greater-silicate waters in a shallow mixed layer rapidly southward. Between 24 and 26°S the core of the LC was present as a 50–100 m deep layer over one or more thin layers, 15–50 m thick, with high nitrate and low dissolved oxygen (DO). These layers were of lower salinity, cooler water with markedly reduced DO, high nitrate concentrations and distinct nitrate:silicate (NO3:Si(OH)4) nutrient ratios. As the LC flowed south it cooled and deepened thereby entraining the thin layers of high nitrate water into the euphotic zone. The LC also formed large (greater than 100 km diameter) warm core eddies with a deep surface mixed layer that also entrained nitrate from these thin layers. In some locations as far south as 32°S the LC was still present with the thin layer of high nitrate intact but now within the euphotic zone. Thus, the available evidence suggests the LC arises under conditions that favour rapid and shallow nitrification. This nitrification fuels a shelf-scale bloom on a downwelling favourable coast. Depending upon the rate of nitrification the source of the particular organic matter may be local or delivered from the tropics via horizontal advection in a subsurface layer of the LC. 相似文献

光能一方面驱动光合作用固定二氧化碳,另一方面当光能过剩就会对光合细胞产生氧化性损伤,甚至导致细胞死亡。硅藻等光合生物通过叶绿素荧光非光化学淬灭(NPQ)把过剩的光能转化为无害的热,达到保护细胞的目的。硅藻NPQ的诱导受硅甲藻黄素循环调节,并且与众多环境因子密切相关。作者通过对海洋环境的模拟,研究了不同光质下三角褐指藻(Phaeodactylum tricornutum)受到的影响测定并比较了红、绿、蓝3种单色光处理的三角褐指藻响应高光胁迫时的NPQ及硅甲藻黄素循环的差异。叶绿素荧光的结果显示,在相同的胁迫性强光和胁迫时间内,蓝光下处理的三角褐指藻形成的NPQ更高,而且胁迫阶段淬灭的荧光在低光阶段恢复的更快。色素测定的结果显示,3种单色光下处理的三角褐指藻的硅甲藻黄素循环的环脱氧比(DEPS)与对照组没有显著差异。实验结果表明,蓝光对三角褐指藻响应高光、形成NPQ至关重要。 相似文献
