Seasonal variability of phytoplankton fluorescence in relation to the Straits of Messina (Sicily) tidal upwelling
In the Straits of Messina, large gradients of tidal displacements, as well as the topographic constrictions, determine the upwelling of deeper waters in the surface layer. This work describes the seasonal variability in the surface distribution of phytoplankton biomass depending on the upwelling phe...
