Vertical microalgae fluxes at the mooring station LOMO-2 over the Lomonosov Ridge in the period from September 15, 1995 till August 16, 1996

The first studies of microalgae fluxes over the Lomonosov Ridge in the northern Laptev Sea were carried out with a sediment trap at the year-long mooring station LOMO-2, installed at 150 m depth from September 15, 1995 to August 16, 1996. These studies demonstrated essential seasonal variations of vertical microalgae flux. It was shown that in summer diverse flora (composed mainly of cryophylic diatoms) growed intensively beneath the permanent ice cover. Strongly pronounced seasonal variations of microalgae growth correlate closely with solar radiation. Exactly during the maximum insolation period, from the middle of July until the end of September, the microalgae flux was hundreds of times higher than that in the rest of the year. Summer values of the microalgae flux over the Lomonosov Ridge in the northern Laptev Sea were similar to those in the Weddell Sea (Antarctic) and exceeded summer flux values in the Norwegian and Greenland Seas and in the St. Anna Trough (northwestern Kara Sea).
