Analyse spatio-temporelle des patrons de chlorophylle dans la polynie NOW par télédétection du capteur SeaWiFS
The North Water Polynya (NOW), in northern Baffin Bay, is one of the largest polynya in the Northern Hemisphere. As part of the International Arctic Polynya Program (IAPP), an International project (NOW project) took place from 1997 to 1999 to study this polynya using an ecosystemic approach. Sea vi...
