Título: | Atmospheric-induced variability of hydrological and biogeochemical signatures in the NW Alboran Sea. Consequences for the spawning and nursery habitats of European anchovy |
Autor: | Macías, Diego CSIC ORCID; Catalán, Ignacio Alberto CSIC ORCID ; Solé, Jordi CSIC ORCID ; Morales-Nin, Beatriz CSIC ORCID; Ruiz, J. | Fecha de publicación: | 2011 | Editor: | Pergamon Press | Citación: | Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers 58: 1175- 1188 (2011) | Resumen: | The north-western Alboran Sea is a highly dynamic region in which the hydrological processes are mainly controlled by the entrance of the Atlantic Jet (AJ) through the Strait of Gibraltar. The biological patterns of the area are also related to this variability in which atmospheric pressure distributions and wind intensity and direction play major roles. In this work, we studied how changes in atmospheric forcing (from high atmospheric pressure over the Mediterranean to low atmospheric pressure) induced alterations in the physical and biogeochemical environment by re-activating coastal upwelling on the Spanish shore. The nursery area of European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the NW Alboran Sea, confirmed to be the very coastal band around Malaga Bay, did not show any drastic change in its biogeochemical characteristics, indicating that this coastal region is somewhat isolated from the rest of the basin. Our data also suggests that anchovy distribution is tightly coupled to the presence of microzooplankton rather than mesozooplankton. Finally, we use detailed physical and biological information to evaluate a hydrological-biogeochemical coupled model with a specific hydrological configuration to represent the Alboran basin. This model is able to reproduce the general circulation patterns in the region forced by the AJ movements only including two variable external forcings; atmospheric pressure over the western Mediterranean and realistic wind fields. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/57575 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.dsr.2011.08.013 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.dsr.2011.08.013 issn: 0967-0637 |
