Chlorophyll‐ a in Antarctic Landfast Sea Ice: A First Synthesis of Historical Ice Core Data

Historical sea ice core chlorophyll‐ a (Chl a ) data are used to describe the seasonal, regional, and vertical distribution of ice algal biomass in Antarctic landfast sea ice. The analyses are based on the Antarctic Fast Ice Algae Chlorophyll‐ a data set, a compilation of currently available sea ice Chl a data from landfast sea ice cores collected at circum‐Antarctic nearshore locations between 1970 and 2015. Ice cores were typically sampled...
