Studies of long-term seasonal changes in chlorophyll concentration, primary phytoplankton production and water temperature in the surface layer of the southern and eastern shelf zones of the Black Sea from 1998 to 2015 were conducted. SeaWiFS and MODIS satellite measurements were used to analyze trends in chlorophyll concentration and water temperature and to calculate phytoplankton primary production. Fisher’s test was used to analyze the statistical significance of the trends of long-term changes. We took the significance level α = 0.1. On the shelf of the Anatolian coast and the eastern part of the Black Sea, there were no trends in chlorophyll concentration and phytoplankton productivity according to averaged long-term data. There is a general tendency towards a slight decrease in the chlorophyll concentration in the summer over an 18-year period; in other seasons, no directional changes were revealed. In some areas, there was a slight decrease in primary production in the summer and an increase in the winter. However, with a high seasonal variability of the studied indicators, no statistically significant changes could be identified. According to average annual data, tendencies to an increase in temperature were observed almost over the entire investigated coastal region of the Black Sea. The average annual increase in water temperature was connected mainly with the temperature increase in winter.
Keywords: southeastern Black Sea, long-term trends, water temperature, phytoplankton, chlorophyll a, primary production, satellite observations
