There was a shift in maximum chlorophyll concentrations from south of the Subpolar Front in April to north of the front in June.There was a shift in maximum chlorophyll concentrations from south of the Subpolar Front in April to north of the front in June. Fall Bloom progresses from North to south Nov - DecFall Bloom progresses from North to south Nov - Dec Timing and Location of the Spring / Fall Bloom Strong correlation was observed between satellite and shipboard measurements, in terms of spatial pattern (SST, absorption, scattering) and absolute magnitude (SST, absorption).
