We used chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentrations and inherent optical properties (IOPs), derived from ocean color products between 2002 and 2010, as a proxy for the physical and biological parameters of interest. This study focuses on the absorption by phytoplankton, aph(443), particulate backscattering, bbp(443), and absorption due to dissolved and particulate detrital matter, adg(443), and chl-a derived from a multiband quasi-analytical algorithm (QAA). A regionalization based on the coefficient of variation and the Census X-11 method were applied to define regions and to analyze the inter-annual and seasonal variability of the ocean color parameters, with regards to climate variability. The coastal zone presents the highest values of chl-a with two maxima in winter and autumn, while the mid-shelf shows a strong spring chl-a maximum. After 2009, all parameters under study shifted their seasonality and their magnitude changed over the entire area. In the coastal zone, mean values of aph(443) and bbp(443) increased, while in the mid-shelf, chl-a and aph(443) decreased. The observed inter-annual and seasonal behavior of the parameters is tightly related to climate variability of the study area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs70911821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,16]],"date-time":"2015-09-16T10:33:36Z","timestamp":1442399616000},"page":"11821-11847","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Seasonal and Inter-Annual Analysis of Chlorophyll-a and Inherent Optical Properties from Satellite Observations in the Inner and Mid-Shelves of the South of Buenos Aires Province (Argentina)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Delgado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Argentino de Oceanograf\u00eda (IADO-CONICET), Camino La Carrindanga km 7,  8000 Bah\u00eda Blanca, Argentina"},{"name":"Departamento de Geograf\u00eda y Turismo, Universidad Nacional del Sur, 12 de Octubre y San Juan, 8000 Bah\u00eda Blanca, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hubert","family":"Loisel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, UMR 8187 CNRS\/ULCO, Av.
