CCA indicated highly significant (p < 0.0001) time lags of 12 to 72 hours between i . the cyclic fluctuation of an elevated chlorophyll-a signal in the BBL and ii . signals from both the sea surface (occurrence of low atmospheric pressure, wave height (MWH), cooling of surface waters (SST) and the BBL (temperature, tidal signal (pressure), flow-velocity) during the period of investigation (November – May, Table 1 ).
