Seasonal Variability of Dissolved Methane in the Shallow Coastal Zone: The Case Study of the Golubaya Bay, Northeastern Part of the Black Sea
Journal: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Year: 2023

The variability of the dissolved methane content in coastal zones is an important component of the biogeochemical cycle in the marine ecosystem. The objective of this study is to investigate the seasonal variability of dissolved methane distribution in the aerobic shallow coastal zone through the example of the small bay in the northeastern Black Sea. This study is based on the direct observations carried out during a long-term monitoring program conducted in the bay from 1999 to 2016. The seaso
