During El Nino conditions (september 1987), maximum cell abundance was recorded at 10°S at the boundary between the South Equatorial current (SEC) and the South Equatorial countercurrent (SECC). In September 1988, after the return of non-ENSO conditions, a well-established Equatorial upwelling produced an increase in the surface layer nutrient supply over 7° of latitude. This in turn caused an increase in phytoplankton populations in the upper layer, with chlorophyll concentrations ... Integrated over 120 m, the cyanobacteria and microalgae populations were respectively 4.7. and 3.2 times larger than the year before. On the other hand, transient nutrients inputs such as those observed at 10°S in September 1987 caused a large increase in cyanobacteria populations (4.4. times) compared with those in neighbouring zones, and a somewhat smaller increase in microalgae populations (1.3 times) %$ 032CLIMET ; 034MIORG
