ON THE ANNUAL CYCLE OF SATELLITE CHLOROPHYLL OFF CHILE (18°-40°S)

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 maxi...
