Impactos das ondas de calor marinhas na Clorofila-a

Abstract

As Ondas de Calor Marinhas (OCM) são importantes eventos climáticos extremos que podem ter efeitos devastadores e persistentes nos ecossistemas marinhos, especialmente quando ocorrem de forma simultânea com eventos de Baixa Clorofila-a (Low-chl-a). A presente dissertação visa investigar a ocorrência e variabilidade destes dois tipos de eventos extremos no Atlântico Nordeste. Utilizando dados de medições in situ e de deteção remota, foram investigadas tanto a distribuição espacial da intensidade, duração, atividade e frequência dos eventos, como a variabilidade sazonal e interanual de ambos os fenómenos extremos. A análise revelou uma tendência das OCM serem mais frequentes, intensas e com maior atividade nas regiões da Costa Ocidental da Península Ibérica e Costa Sul Portuguesa, sendo mais persistentes na região do arquipélago dos Açores. Durante o verão, são registadas o maior número e as OCM mais intensas. Embora a intensidade não apresente uma evolução anual clara, em todas as regiões analisadas os eventos são cada vez mais frequentes, persistentes e com maior atividade. Os eventos de Baixa Clorofila-a são mais intensos, persistentes, frequentes e têm maior atividade em regiões costeiras, especialmente na Costa Ocidental da Península Ibérica, onde a intensidade, duração e frequência aumentam durante a primavera e o verão. Devido à sua forte variabilidade anual, não foram observadas tendências significativas na evolução dos parâmetros analisados. A análise de co-ocorrência revela uma forte interferência de vários fatores físicos que impactam a produção primária, dificultando a atribuição das variações na CHL exclusivamente às OCM. A relevância destes eventos compostos nos ecossistemas marinhos sublinha a necessidade de realização de estudos mais aprofundados, com metodologias inovadoras que permitam discernir os efeitos das OCM na produção primária.

Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) are significant extreme climatic events that can have devastating and persistent effects on marine ecosystems, especially when occurring simultaneously with Low Chlorophyll-a (Low-chl-a) events. This dissertation aims to investigate the occurrence and variability of these two types of extreme events in the Northeast Atlantic. Using both in situ measurements and remote sensing data, the spatial distribution of intensity, duration, activity, and frequency of the events, as well as the seasonal and interannual variability of both phenomena, were examined. The analysis revealed that MHWs are more frequent, intense, and active along the Western Iberian Peninsula and Southern Portuguese Coast, with greater persistence in the Azores archipelago region. The highest number and most intense MHWs are recorded during the summer. Although no clear annual trend in intensity was observed, in all analyzed regions, these events are becoming increasingly frequent, persistent, and active. Low Chlorophyll-a events are more intense, persistent, frequent, and exhibit higher activity in coastal regions, particularly along the Western Iberian Peninsula, where intensity, duration, and frequency increase during spring and summer. Due to their strong annual variability, no significant trends were observed in the evolution of the analyzed parameters. The co-occurrence analysis reveals a strong interference of several physical factors that impact primary production, making it challenging to attribute variations in CHL solely to MHWs. The relevance of these compound events to marine ecosystems highlights the need for further studies employing innovative methodologies to discern the effects of MHWs on primary production.
