caused by a wind associated with a weather system changing the surface reflectance for this sun angle. At
the north edge of the plankton bloom is the subtropical convergence zone where subtropical (productive)
waters from the north meet sub-Antarctic (much less productive) waters from the south. The two currents
meet and flow outwards from the shore in an eastward direction over the Chatham Rise, where water
depths decrease from 2,500 m to 125 m over a relatively short distance. This bathy- metrically locked
feature is seen in many images (including AVHRR) and marks an area of very productive water, high in
phytoplankton. Communique to S. Runco from Richard Murphy, National Institute of Water and
Atmospheric Research, Wellington, New Zealand.
