Relationship between chlorophyll-a, sea surface temperature, and sea surface salinity by M. Hidayat, R. Wafdan, M. Ramli, Z. Muchlisin, S. Rizal

“…The maximum sea surface temperature occurred in May, June, and July, according to the shape of the graph, which peaked in the middle of the year. The sea surface salinity graph formed a peak and valley which occurred yearly in May or April, as well as September and October, respectively.CONCLUSION: Chlorophyll-a had 1 trough and 1 peak, with the sea surface temperature graph possessing only 1 peak, while the sea surface salinity graph had 1 peak and 1 trough, respectively. …”
