碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海洋生物研究所 / 96 / Data of various marine environmental factors collected and integrated by the National Center of Ocean Research (NCOR) were used to search for possible statistics relationship with chlorophyll concentration of the Kuroshio and its adjacent waters off eastern Taiwan. The seaWiFS chlorophyll concentration in natural logarithm were used as dependent variable in General Linear Model（GLM）analysis, followed by least square means (lsmeans) and cluster analysis. Study area ranged from 21.5。N and 121。E to 26.5。N and 125。E eastern Taiwan. Data were first assembled, screened, transformed to natural logarithm and reorganized into monthly averages for individual geographical grid points of 10’X 10’.
The result of GLM analysis shows that all factors have significant relationship with chlorophyll concentration, more than 20 regression formulae were found with different combination of variable. Results of standard regression analysis show their order of importance as: latitude, depth, longitude, light, sst, east and west current on upper 20 meter(c20EW), north and south current on upper 20 meter(c20NS) and eddy kinetic energy(EKE), respectively. Results of lsmeans listing by latitude and by longitude showed that area with higher chlorophyll concentration are on high-latitude and low-longitude area but not between and area near east Taiwan tend to have high concentration and decreased eastward. Results of cluster analysis indicated that chlorophyll concentration of western longitude, and northern as well as southern latitude are different from other area.
