Book Description
This book represents an outgrowth of an interdisciplinary session held at the Seventh International Estuarine Research Federation Conference held at Virginia Beach, Virginia, OCLober 1983. At that meeting, the participants agreed to contribute to and develop a monograph entitled "Tidal Mixing and Plankton Dynamics" by inviting an expanded group of authors to contribute chapters on this theme. The emphasis would be to review and summarize the considerable body of knowledge that has accumulated over the last decade or so on the fundamental role tidal mixing plays in energetic shallow seas and estuaries in stimulating and controlling biological production. We have attempted to provide a mix of contributions, composed of reviews of the state-of-the-art, reports on current research activi ties, summaries of the design and testing of a new generation of innovative instruments for biological and chemical sampling and sorting, and some imaginative ideas for future experiments on stimulated mixing in continental shelf seas. We encouraged the contributors to present critical and thought provoking assessments of current wisdom specifying the sorts of techniques and observational strategies needed to validate the various hypotheses linking physical structure, mixing and circulation to plankton biomass and production. We hope this volume will appeal to incoming research students and established scholars alike. We certainly have enjoyed working with all the authors in compiling this book. We thank the numerous scientists who have served as reviewers, P. Boisvert for typing the manuscripts and W. Bellows for proofreading.

Book Description
This study examines decade-scale shifts in annual phytoplankton bloom timing across the North Atlantic Ocean. Phytoplankton blooms in this region play a critical role in regulating the global carbon cycle and marine ecosystem dynamics. Decadal shifts in the mean timing of bloom onset, bloom termination and bloom duration were examined using 22 years of satellite-derived ocean color data. At higher latitudes in the North Atlantic, median bloom onset date was shifted 4.4 days later, median bloom termination was shifted 1.5 days earlier and median bloom duration shifted 3.6 days shorter. At lower latitudes in the North Atlantic, median bloom onset date was shifted 2.9 days earlier, there was no observed shift in median bloom termination and median bloom duration was shifted 3.6 days longer. Interdecadal trends in wind speeds in the North Atlantic have been documented in a recent study, offering an explanation for the observed shifts in bloom timing. This study produces a first look into recent decadal shifts in bloom timing that should continue to be monitored and studied as more satellite ocean color data are collected.
