Abstract

This paper analyzes interannual variations in the bioluminescence field intensity in nearshore relatively deep outside waters and in an enclosed shallow-water bay from 2009 to 2014; it presents analytical expressions of the interannual trends and reveals the 1.4- to 2.7-time decrease in the interannual bioluminescence field intensity over the studied period.
