10 SeaWiFS derived K532 Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient
Bio-optical properties Show eddy structure Along the coast. The optical properties in cooler (North) and warmer (South) have similar bio-optical properties.

11 SeaWiFs Chlorophyll (SeaBAM ) - Chlorophyll ~ 0.6 – 1.5 mg/ l
Jan 21, z SeaWiFs Chlorophyll (SeaBAM ) - Chlorophyll ~ 0.6 – 1.5 mg/ l clouds Feb 1, z clouds These chlorophyll imageries show the response of the surface biology to the passage of a 2 cold front.

12 Western Extension Central Extension East Extension Sea surface temperature imagery were composted for a 2 week period to define the SST climatology. Three extensions of the warm Tsumia current are illustrated which penetrate the basin interior.

13 B A B A Surface Absorption front Surface attenuation coefficient
Ship track of the surface Optical properties B A B front A Front AVHRR- SST Surface Absorption Surface optical properties changes at the Subpolar Front, decreasing in the colder waters.

14 AVHRR – SST for Jan 28, 2000 Illustrating the passage of a cold front the extension of the warm Tsumina current at the Yamato Rise.
