Abstract
Continuous horizontal profiles of chlorophyll, temperature, salinity, and oxygen were made at three depths and in three locations in British Columbia coastal waters, and spectra and cross spectra calculated. Generally, fairly strong relationships exist between chlorophyll and temperature and salinity, especially at scales of order 10–1000 m. However, the relationships are not always expressed through the same physical parameter. It is apparent from coherence and phase data that in a turbulent environment the vertical profiles of the parameters are important in determining the nature of the relationships. Average spectra show power law relationships similar to the results of other authors. Key words: chlorophyll, temperature, salinity, oxygen fluctuations; surface coastal waters; T, S, O2, chlorophyll fluctuations; spectra and cross-spectra of T, S, O2, chlorophyll; measurements of T, S, O2, chlorophyll in surface waters
