• Biovolume spectrum theories applied: spatial patterns of trophic levels within a mesozooplankton community at the polar front 

      Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Tande, Kurt Steinar; Zhou, Meng (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Three-dimensional data on the mesoscale distribution of hydrography and mesozooplankton were collected at the Polar Front, northwestern Barents Sea, in spring 2008 (29 April 15 May) using a combination of multinet and towed instrument platform equipped with Laser Optical Plankton Counter, fluorometer and CTD. Trophic levels (TLS) within the zooplankton community (whole community and size-separated) ...
    • Conditions for assessing zooplankton abundance with LOPC in coastal waters 

      Espinasse, Boris Dristan; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Schultes, Sabine; Zhou, Meng; Berline, Leo; Carlotti, Francois (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-20)
      Recent technical advances in laser-based systems to measure zooplankton distribution have opened new perspectives in ecological and behavioral studies by significantly improving the horizontal and vertical sampling resolution, providing information on zooplankton patchiness and on the influence of small scale physical processes. The application of laser-based systems also led to new challenges on ...
    • Dynamical Controls of the Eastward Transport of Overwintering Calanus finmarchicus From the Lofoten Basin to the Continental Slope 

      Dong, Huizi; Zhou, Meng; Smith, Walker O.; Li, Baosheng; Hu, Ziyuan; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Gaardsted, Frank; Zhang, Zhaoru; Zhong, Yisen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-06)
      Diapausing populations of Calanus finmarchicus at depth in the Lofoten Basin (LB) return to the continental shelf and slope off the Lofoten-Vesterålen Islands during the phytoplankton spring bloom to feed and spawn, forming surface swarms with a great abundance. To study how overwintering populations of C. finmarchicus move with the deep currents and return to the shelf, Lagrangian transport ...

      Arctic Ocean properties and processes are highly relevant to the regional and global coupled climate system, yet still scarcely observed, especially in winter. Team OCEAN conducted a full year of physical oceanography observations as part of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), a drift with the Arctic sea ice from October 2019 to September 2020. ...
    • Restructuring of a zooplankton community by perturbation from a wind-forced coastal jet 

      Pedersen, Ole Petter; Tande, Kurt Steinar; Li, Chaolun; Zhou, Meng (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010-09)
      The impact of transient wind events on an established zooplankton community was observed during a, field survey in a, coastal region off northern Norway in May 2002. A transient wind event induced a coastal jet/filament intrusion of warm, saline water into our survey area where a semi-permanent eddy was present. There was an abrupt change in zooplankton community structure within 4-7 days of the ...
    • Surface chlorophyll anomalies induced by mesoscale eddy- wind interactions in the northern Norwegian Sea 

      Dong, Huizi; Zhou, Meng; Raj, Roshin Pappukutty; Smith, Walker O; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Ji, Rubao; Ashjian, Carin; Zhang, Zhaoru; Hu, Ziyuan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      The substantial productivity of the northern Norwegian Sea is closely related to its strong mesoscale eddy activity, but how eddies affect phytoplankton biomass levels in the upper ocean through horizontal and vertical transportmixing has not been well quantified. To assess mesoscale eddy induced ocean surface chlorophyll-a concentration (CHL) anomalies and modulation of eddywind interactions in ...
    • Transport Barriers and the Retention of Calanus finmarchicus on the Lofoten Shelf in Early Spring 

      Dong, Huizi; Zhou, Meng; Hu, Ziyuan; Zhang, Zhaoru; Zhong, Yisen; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Smith Jr., Walker O. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-02)
      Large aggregations of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus occur each spring in the shelf-slope-oceanic regions off the Lofoten-Vesterålen Islands where productive fisheries have traditionally supported local economies. The retention and off-shelf transport of populations of C. finmarchicus populations were studied by analyzing ocean color remote sensing, satellite altimetry data, and Lagrangian Coherent ...
