Surface distribution of chlorophyllα along the course of the FUJI(1980-81)in the Southern Ocean
The measurement of the chlorophyll α concentration of the surface water in the Southern Ocean was performed along the course of the icebreaker FUJI from December 1980 to March 1981 as a part of the 22nd Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. The chlorophyll α concentration was low (less than 0.2mg/...

The value was generally low in the open water south of the AC, but high values of 0.84 (58°S) and 0.58 (62°S) mg/m^3 were measured farther south of the AC in the southward and northward legs respectively. In or near the pack ice water, the chlorophyll α concentration formed a peak in the westward leg in December 1980 where the water temperature and salinity decreased.
