Diatom Phenology in the Southern Ocean: Mean Patterns, Trends and the Role of Climate Oscillations
Diatoms are the major marine primary producers in the Southern Ocean and a key component of the carbon and silicate biogeochemical cycle. Using 15 years of satellite-derived diatom concentration from September to April (1997–2012), we examine the mean patterns and the interannual variability of the...
