The Southern Benguela upwelling system is particularly susceptible to Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), most of which are attributed to dinoflagellate species. Dinoflagellates are favoured by stratified conditions. Consequently, temporal or spatial variations in ocean and atmospheric conditions that favour stratification will encourage HAB development. Temporally, prolonged relaxation of the dominant equatorward wings during late summer typically results in quiscent phases in upwelling which promote stratification and bloom development. 2014-08-13T19:48:28Z 2014-08-13T19:48:28Z 2006 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6464 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
