This paper introduces the cumulative impact of cyclonic (cold-core) and anticyclonic (warm-core) eddies on the distribution of phytoplankton biomass in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Estimations of the ocean surface eddy features in the BoB using satellite-derived monthly, seasonal, and multi-year (2012–2016) datasets showed significant dominance of warm-core features over the cold-core ones. Multi-year monthly data of the BoB evidenced strikingly higher geographical area (%) for warm cores (av. 16.5 ± 5.5) compared to the cold-core features (av. 2 ± 1.2). The highest warm-core extent (%) was in May (av. 25.8 ± 1.4), followed by April (av. 22.6 ± 1.4), February (av. 19.5 ± 0.3) and March (av. 18.3 ± 0.9). Contrastingly, a relatively higher extent (%) of cold cores occurred in November (av. 3.9 ± 2.2), October (av. 3.78 ± 2.0), and December (av. 3.5 ± 2.1). The analysis also showed that the extreme oligotrophy of the study domain during the Pre-Monsoon (March-May) was caused by a robust, warm gyre. Upwelling and winter convection, which enhances phytoplankton biomass in the Arabian Sea, are either very weak or absent in the BoB. Similarly, nutrient inputs through river influx into the BoB are insufficient to enhance phytoplankton stock beyond the shelf waters. In this scenario, we showed here that the significantly larger spread of warm-core over the cold-core eddies is a simple ecological indicator of the basin-scale low phytoplankton stock in the BoB.

显着占主导地位的暖芯涡流:孟加拉湾流域规模的低生物产量的生态指标

本文介绍了旋风(冷核)和反气旋(暖核)涡流对孟加拉湾(BoB)浮游植物生物量分布的累积影响。使用卫星衍生的月度,季节和多年(2012-2016年)数据集对BoB中的海面涡旋特征进行估算,显示出暖芯特征比冷芯特征显着。BoB的多年月度数据显示,与冷芯特征(平均2±1.2)相比,暖芯(平均16.5±5.5)的地理区域(%)高得多。最高的暖心程度(%)在5月(平均25.8±1.4),其次是4月(平均22.6±1.4),2月(平均19.5±0.3)和3月(平均18.3±0.9)。相反,在11月(平均3.9±2.2),10月(平均3.78±2.0)和12月(平均3.5±2)发生冷芯的程度相对较高(%)。1)。分析还显示,季风前(3月至5月)期间研究领域的极端寡脂化是由强劲而温暖的回旋引起的。在BoB中,上升流和冬季对流会增强阿拉伯海中浮游植物的生物量,因此非常薄弱或没有。同样,通过河流流入BoB的养分输入不足以增加超出架子水域的浮游植物种群。在这种情况下,我们在这里显示出,热核在冷核涡流中的分布明显更大,这是BoB盆地规模低的浮游植物种群的简单生态指标。在BoB中要么很弱,要么没有。同样,通过河流流入BoB的养分输入不足以增加超出架子水域的浮游植物种群。在这种情况下,我们在这里显示出,热核在冷核涡流中的分布明显更大,这是BoB盆地规模低的浮游植物种群的简单生态指标。在BoB中要么很弱,要么没有。同样,通过河流流入BoB的养分输入不足以增加超出架子水域的浮游植物种群。在这种情况下,我们在这里显示出,热核在冷核涡流中的分布明显更大,这是BoB盆地规模低的浮游植物种群的简单生态指标。
