Mesoscale phenomena are ubiquitous and highly energetic features of ocean circulation.
Their influence on biological and biogeochemical processes varies widely, stemming not …

The phenomenon of subsurface chlorophyll maximum layers (SCMLs) is not a unique
ecological response to environmental conditions; rather, a broad range of interacting …

Stratified oceanic systems are characterized by the presence of a so‐called Deep
Chlorophyll a Maximum (DCM) not detectable by ocean color satellites. A DCM can either …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

Oceanic Rossby waves have been widely invoked as a mechanism for large-scale variability
of chlorophyll (CHL) observed from satellites. High-resolution satellite altimeter …

This book presents an in-depth discussion of the biological and ecological geography of the
oceans. It synthesizes locally restricted studies of the ocean to generate a global geography …

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from close to 280 parts per million
(ppm) in 1800, at first slowly and then progressively faster to a value of 367 ppm in 1999 …

Mid‐Cretaceous (Barremian‐Turonian) plankton preserved in deep‐sea marl, organic‐rich
shale, and pelagic carbonate hold an important record of how the marine biosphere …

It is problematic that geochemical estimates of new production—that fraction of total primary
production in surface waters fuelled by externally supplied nutrients—in oligotrophic waters …

Increased spatial resolution in recent observations and modeling has revealed a richness of
structure and processes on lateral scales of a kilometer in the upper ocean. Processes at …
