Satellite - derived oceanographic parameters were used to explain the coastal and oceanic behavior of the chlorophyll concentration (CHL) in Chilean waters (18°-40°S, coast- 900 km offshore). CHL shows two different regimens of the annual cycle, the closer to the shore one with a austral summer maximum in concordance to the upwelling and wind regimes; and an offshore one with a CHL maximum in winter time. The annual cycle is stronger in a thin band (20 km) close to the shore and in the oceanic zone, where it counts for more of the 80% of the variability present. There is a band, which varies with latitude, located between 100-200 km from coast where the annual cycle is not well resolved by the 100 km data bins used in this study. A EOF analysis of 9km... |
