• Oxygen pr<strong>of</strong>iles show a deeper than usual Oxygen m<strong>in</strong>imum dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
November 2009, due to el N<strong>in</strong>o conditions.<br />
• Two chlorophyll maxima were found, be<strong>in</strong>g more stratified <strong>the</strong><br />
sou<strong>the</strong>rn D transect, for this transect, <strong>the</strong> second peak follows <strong>the</strong><br />
0.1 ml l oxygen layer.<br />
• Zooplankton <strong>vertical</strong> <strong>distribution</strong> shows a dramatic reduction <strong>in</strong> its<br />
abundances and volumes at <strong>the</strong> oxygen m<strong>in</strong>imum layer.<br />
• The Omega Aragonite and pH pr<strong>of</strong>iles follows <strong>the</strong> same trend as<br />
<strong>zooplankton</strong> volumes for <strong>the</strong> MOCNESS tows<br />
• Ammonia pr<strong>of</strong>iles co<strong>in</strong>cide with <strong>the</strong> two chlorophyll maxima at<br />
station D03, but <strong>the</strong>ir values varied dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> 48 hours period.<br />
