| Abstract: | The spring phytoplankton composition has been investigated ata 50 m deep station off Plymouth in the English Channel for6 years (19931999). The percentage of diatoms duringthe spring bloom was significantly correlated with the NorthAtlantic Oscillation index. A similar relationship between phytoplanktonand North Atlantic Oscillation has also been found in a Swedishlake, suggesting a possible link between atmospheric forcingand phytoplankton composition. |
