 note = {P(論文), We investigated the distribution of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and sea surface temperature (SST) off the sea ice region south of 64°S in East Antarctica between 20°E and 60°E during austral summers, 1998-2002. We used satellite multi-sensor remote sensing datasets including ocean color Chl-a, SST and sea ice concentration. High concentrations of Chl-a (>0.5 mg m^(-3)) were generally observed in colder water below 0°C. Phytoplankton blooms were extended into shallow areas along the isobath. SST distribution exhibited two patterns. In the first pattern, warm water located to the north of this region associated with polynya in early spring. The second pattern was characterized by distribution of cold water throughout the study area. A shift of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is considered to affect this difference between SST distributions. The cold water from the Antarctic coastal current mixed with meltwater was expected to provide vertical stability of the water column for phytoplankton blooms. These results suggest that the phytoplankton blooms in this study area during austral summer can be attributed to water conditions affected by melting sea ice, movement of the ACC and sea floor topography.},
