| Summary: | Abstract—Seasonal variations of surface nutrients and hydrography data obtained in period (1997-2010) by the Institute of Marine Research over three transects: Fugløya-Bjørnøya, Gimsøy and Svinøy located in the Norwegian Sea have been studied. The results over the Fugløya-Bjørnøya transect show good signature of the seasonal cycle of nitrate (10.4 µmol/Kg in winter time, 0.8 µmol/Kg in bloom time, and 0.6 in post-bloom time), and temperature (4.8 ºC in winter time, 6.5 ºC in bloom time, 9.5 ºC in post-bloom time), reflecting both bloom and post-bloom periods. The Gimsøy transect shows a weak seasonal cycle of nitrate and temperature in the outer part because there is no enough data during the bloom and post-bloom period. But the middle and inner part show good seasonal cycle of nitrate and temperature during the two periods. Finally, the Svinøy transect shows good seasonal cycle of nitrate (10.1 µmol/Kg in winter time, 2.0 µmol/Kg in the bloom time, 0.9 µmol/Kg in post-bloom time), and temperature (7.1 ºC in winter time, 7.8 ºC in bloom time, 12.4 ºC in post-bloom time), during the bloom and post-bloom.
