通过一台Bio-Argo浮标在北大西洋(冰岛附近)运行近2年(2008年6月-2010年5月)获得的观测数据,分析与研究了该海区叶绿素a浓度([Chla])、颗粒物后向散射(bbp(532))和光束衰减系数(cp(660))的季节变化及其生物光学关系.研究表明,北大西洋生物光学参量存在明显夏高冬低的季节分布,其中表层[Chla]最高超过2mg m-3,最低仅为O.05mgm-3;cp(660)的季节变化更明显,幅度超过2个数量级;bbp(532)则存在一个明显的背景值,约为0.00065 m-1,可能是一种非藻类颗粒物的存在或是来源于仪器的测量误差;[Chla]、cp(660)以及bbp(532)之间均呈良好的指数相关关系,但在后向散射的高值区(>0.004 m-1),生物光学关系减弱,可能是由于北大西洋的夏季浮游植物种群的变化.
Based on the in situ dataset observed by a Bio-Argo float deployed in the North Atlantic (near Iceland)from Jun. 2008 to May 2010, the seasonal variations of chlorophyll-a concentration ([ Chla] ), particulate backscattering (bbp (532)), beam attenuation coefficient( cp (660)), as well as the bio-optical relationships between them in the sea area, were studied and analyzed. The results showed that, there existed very obvious seasonality for all the three bio-optical properties, higher in summer and lower in winter. The [ Chla ] at surface varied from 0.05 to 2 mg m - 3, the cp (660) had a more strong seasonal fluctuation over 2 order of magnitude, and the bbp (532) had an obvious background value ( - 0. 00065 m- 1 ), owing to either the presence of non-algal particles or the uncertainties of in- strument. The mutual relationships between the [ Chla ], cp ( 660 ) and bbp ( 532 ), were fitted well by a power func- tion, but in the region of relatively strong backscattering ( bbp (532) 〉 0.004 m - 1 ), their correlations declined, per- haps owing to the change of algal community in summer.
