Bio-optical characteristics of phytoplankton populations in the upwelling system off the coast of Chile Características (bio-ópticas) de poblaciones de fitoplancton en el sistema de surgencia de la costa de Chile

Phytoplankton samples collected from two cruises off the coast of Chile were analysed for pigment composition and absorption characteristics. High pigment concentrations (up to 20 mg chl-a m-3) were found in the upwelled waters over the shelf break off the coast of Concepción during spring (October...
