Abstract

Chlorophyll-a concentration is an important parameter of the Southern Ocean water environment, and is influenced by factors such as melting sea-ice and so on. This paper validated and justified the applicability of chlorophyll-a and sea-ice extent derived from MODIS data in understanding the spatial-temporal chlorophyll-a distribution in the Southern Ocean. The sea-ice cover reduced evenly between October and January, and the distribution of Chlorophyll-a varies with latitude and the distribution of melting sea-ice.
