All marine organisms are affected to some ex- tent by the movement and thermal properties of oceanic cur- rents. However phytoplankton, because of its small size is most directly coupled to the physical environment. The in- tense hydrodynamic activity observed in the Northwest At- lantic Shelves Province makes this region especially intrigu- ing from the point of view of physical-biological interac- tions. In the present work, remote sensed data of Sea Sur- face Height (SSH) anomalies, Sea-surface chlorophyll a con- centrations (SeaWiFS), and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are used to complement the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey that continuously sampled a route between Norfolk (Virginia, USA; 39 N, 71 W) and Argentia (New- foundland; 47 N, 54 W) over the period 1995-1998. Over this period, we examined physical structures (i.e. SST and SSH) and climatic forcing associated with space-time phy- toplankton structure. Along this route, the phytoplankton structures were mainly impacted by the changes in surface flow along the Scotian Shelf rather than significantly influ- enced by the mesoscale features of the Gulf Stream. These changes in water mass circulation caused a drop in tempera- ture and salinity along the Scotian Shelf that induced changes in phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance.
