Primary production in the bays of the novaya zemlya archipelago (Kara Sea) in the contrasting glacial and non-glacial environmental conditions.

Ongoing warming is leading to the accelerated shrinkage of glaciers located on Arctic islands. Consequently, the influence of glacial meltwater on phytoplankton primary production in Arctic bays becomes critically important in an era of warming. This work studies the spatiotemporal variation of primary production and chlorophyll a concentration in the bays along the eastern coast of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.

Dataset of the abundance and phytoplankton composition in the Barents Sea in summer 2014-2018.

This data article contains data on the abundance, phytoplankton composition, in the Barents Sea in summer 2014-2018, and physical and hydrochemical parameters in summer 2017. The data are based on the samples collected on stations, where blooms were recorded. The physical data included the water temperature, salinity, oxygen concentrations at the surface, and various depths.

Interannual variability of Emiliania huxleyi blooms in the Barents Sea: In situ data 2014-2018.

Using in situ data of 2014-2018, the summers Emiliania huxleyi blooms in the Barents Sea were studied. The blooms were recorded in the upper mixed layer in July and August every year, during which they spread to cover large areas and were associated with Atlantic waters. The E.

Estimation of sea surface solar radiation at 400-700 nm using satellite ocean color data, and its validation by ship data.

We present results of validating the algorithms used to estimate sea surface solar radiation at 400-700 nm, photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), from satellite ocean color data and an appropriate validation procedure when data are collected using a moving ship. The validation was performed using field measurements of PAR during a transit cruise from the Baltic to the White Sea during the summer of 2014. The PAR was measured at 10-minute intervals using a deck radiometer throughout the daylight hours.
