Figure 4From: The role of snowmelt runoff on the ocean environment and scallop production in Funka Bay, Japan Distributions of simulated salinity and current, and satellite image of chl a concentrations. (a) Horizontal distributions of the simulated salinity (colors) and current at a depth of −12 m on 20 March 2010. The white stream lines with arrows indicate the flow direction estimated by the simulated velocity field. (b) Satellite image of chlorophyll a concentrations (mg m−3) estimated from MODIS/Aqua ocean color remote sensing data around Funka Bay, southwestern Hokkaido, on 27 May 2012. The land and cloud data are represented by gray and black, respectively.Back to article page
