abstract = {The onset, development and decay of a winter bloom of the marine diatom Skeletonema costatum
was monitored during a 10 d period in the coastal upwelling system of the Rı´a de Vigo (NW Spain).
The succession of upwelling, relaxation and downwelling-favorable coastal winds with a frequency
of 10 –20 d is a common feature of the NW Iberian shelf. The onset of the bloom occurred during an
upwelling-favorable 1⁄2 wk period under winter thermal inversion conditions. The subsequent 1⁄2 wk
coastal wind relaxation period allowed development of the bloom (gross primary production reached
8gCm–2 d–1) utilizing nutrients upwelled during the previous period. Finally, downwelling during
the following 1⁄2 wk period forced the decay of the bloom through a combination of cell sinking and
downward advection.},
