  2. Time Series seasonality. The range is: Helg > Rosc > Blan Blooms occur in: Feb-Mar  Blanes Jun-Jul  Roscoff Jul-Sep ??  Helgoland Chlorophyll a (ng / L)

  3. Time Series seasonality of picophytoplankton. In contrast to Total phytoplankton: - weaker seasonality - less differences among sites Chlorophyll a < 3 µm (ng / L)

  4. Diatoms Synechococcus Prochlorococcus Prasinophyceae Pelagophyceae Time Series. Phytoplankton groups seasonality. BLANES Seasonality

  5. Haptophyceae Dinophyceae Chlorophyceae Cryptophyceae Time Series. Phytoplankton groups seasonality. BLANES No Seasonality

  18. Time Series. Size fraction dynamics. Blanes Roscoff Helgoland < 3 µm > 3 µm Median 267 166 Avg 274 246 C.V. 42% 92% Range 52-509 30-1084 < 3 µm > 3 µm Median 264 273 Avg 301 512 C.V. 53% 132% Range 65-811 123-4543 < 3 µm > 3 µm Median 236 902 Avg 261 1658 C.V. 156% 78% Range 70-539 179-8783 The median, average and range of the < 3 µm fraction were remarkably stable in all three sites. The contribution of the > 3 µm fraction increases Blanes < Roscoff < Helgoland The variability is much higher for the > 3 µm fraction, except in Helgoland.

  19. Time Series. Summary.  There was an important seasonality in all three sites but at different periods of the year.  Not all phytoplankton groups showed seasonality, and not even the same groups showed the same seasonality at the three sites.  Size fractionation permitted verify that:  less than 20% of Diatoms and Dinophyceae were in the 3 µm fraction.  50-80% of Haptophyceae, Pelagophyceae, Cryptophyceae and Chlorophyceae were in the < 3 µm fraction.  more than 80% of Prasinophyceae and 90% of prokaryotes were in the < 3 µm fraction.  The differences among sites are mostly due to the > 3 µm fraction.
