Bio-Optical Characteristics of the Surface Layer of the Baltic, Norwegian and Barents Seas with Shipboard and Satellite Data in Summer 2014-2016
The article presents results of shipboard and satellite measurements in the surface layer of the Baltic, Norwegian and Barents seas during the cruises from Baltic to White Sea in June-August 2014-2016. Special attention is paid to marine phytoplankton blooms - cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea and coccolithophore in the Barents. No blooms were found in the Norwegian Sea. The efficiency of the joint use of contact and satellite optical methods for studying the parameters of phytoplankton blooms is shown.
