| Two expeditions in the northeastern Mediterranean by the R/V Bilim (in July 1988 and March 1989) scanned an area of about 3 x 10(5) km2 to determine, in situ, the relative fluorescence intensities of the upper layer waters. The in situ fluorescence intensities exhibited a fair correlation with the discrete chlorophyll-a concentrations when the concentrations exceeded 0.1 mug/L. Light intensities indicated that the euphotic zone had an average thickness of 100 m in the open waters. The deep chlorophyll-a maxima (DCM) at the bottom of the euphotic zone usually coincided with the maxima observed by in situ fluorometry and were a prevalent characteristic of the oligotrophic northeastern Mediterranean. The formation, maintenance and location of the DCM were... |
