Based on high resolution satellite imagery and monthly in-situ data in period from 2007 to 2008, the spatial and temporal variations ofChl, a in the upwelling region including algal blooms have been detected. Anomalies of higher Chl. a concentration and bloom patterns occurred at different periods, locations, and bloom shapes in coastal waters of Southern Center of Vietnam. The appearances of these bloom are related to four difference reasons, such as： （i） Their locations coincided to main center of upwelling phenomena that usually occur during southwest monsoon （SWM）; （ii） Effect of northeast monsoon （NEM） that brings and attaches the nutrient into the coast and created ＂floating＂ algae bloom patches in coastal zones; （iii） The algae blooms can be potentially associated with Harmful Algae Bloom （HAB） during the SWM or local eddies during NEM and （iv） Their appearances are also as a result of distinctive nutrient inflow fi＇om Mekong delta and pumping of nutrients by internal waves in coastal shallow waters.展开更多
Down-core variation in planktonic foraminifera (PF) at Site 1143 (ODP 184) has dis closed the evolution of upper water-column structure over the last 12 Ma in the southern South China Sea.

In the early Late Miocene (～10.6-7.8 Ma), there existed a lower percentage of total deep-dwelling species, reflecting a water thermocline deeper than that in the Middle Miocene,which resulted from the closure of Indonesian seaway and relevant intensification of the equatorial warm current. After the increase in deep-dwelling PF and the rising of thermocline during the late Late Miocene (7.6-6.4 Ma), the total deep-dwelling species decreased gradually from late Late Miocene (6.4 Ma) to the Pliocene, implying the deepening of water thermocline. The evolution of thermocline depth in the southern South China Sea reflected by the PF at Site 1143 might be a good indicator of the change of west Pacific 'warm pool'.展开更多
