In the oligotrophic waters to the east of Madagascar, a large phytoplankton bloom is found to
occur in late austral summer. This bloom is composed of nitrogen fixers and can cover up …

The late austral summer (February–April) phytoplankton bloom that occurs east of
Madagascar exhibits significant interannual variability and at its largest extent covers~ 1% of …

A hitherto-unnoticed phytoplankton bloom, of dimension 3000× 1500km, occupies the
Madagascar Basin in late austral summer, being a prominent feature in SeaWiFS images. A …

Abstract The South‐East Madagascar Bloom occurs in an oligotrophic region of the
southwest Indian Ocean. Phase locked to austral summer, this sporadic feature exhibits …

Mesoscale eddies are major features in ocean dynamics that significantly influence ocean
production depending on their polarity, life-stage, location and time of formation. Eddies in …

Based on ten years (1998–2007) of satellite ocean color data we analyze the spatiotemporal
patterns in the seasonal Madagascar plankton bloom with respect to the advection of the …

Based on satellite and in situ data, the dynamic characteristics and vertical structure of a
surface intensified mesoscale eddy dipole recently expelled from the South East …

During a hydrographic cruise in March 2001, we encountered a dipole-like vortex structure
directly southwest of Madagascar. The cruise formed part of the Dutch-South African …

We described new sea surface CO 2 observations in the southwestern Indian Ocean
obtained in January 2020 when a strong bloom event occurred south-east of Madagascar …

Iron limitation of primary productivity prevails across much of the Southern Ocean but there
are exceptions; in particular, the phytoplankton blooms associated with the Kerguelen …
