TL;DR: In the Canada/US 1994 Arctic Ocean Section, algal biomass (Chlorophyll a) and primary production were measured in the water column, at the ice-water interface and in the bottom 24 cm of the sea ice along a transect from the Chukchi Sea to the Nansen Basin via the North Pole as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, new estimates of Arctic and Antarctic production of biogenic carbon are derived, and differences as well as similarities between the two oceans are examined.

TL;DR: What is now known about harmful algal blooms in this vast area is reviewed, including the hydrographic regimes that induce and(or) support blooms, bloom dynamics, and the biology of the causative species.

TL;DR: The state of knowledge on HABs along the west coast is presented as a step toward meeting the need for integration of HAB outreach, research, and management efforts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the habitats and communities and suggest some standard terms for them, and also suggest routine sampling methods and reporting units for measurements of biological and chemical variables.
