Distribution of the surface chlorophyll α along the course of the FUJI to and from Antarctica in 1979-1980
The measurements of chlorophyll α concentration in the surface sea water were carried out at 216 stations along the route of the icebreaker FUJI from November 1979 to April 1980. This observation was conducted as a part of the routine works of marine biological program of the Japanese Antarctic Rese...
