This chapter reviews the current state of knowledge on bio-physical interactions at
mesoscale and at sub-mesoscale. It is focused on the mid-latitudes open ocean. From …

To describe the underlying processes involved in oceanic plankton dynamics is crucial for
the determination of energy and mass flux through an ecosystem and for the estimation of …

Abstract A Biogeochemical Southern Ocean State Estimate (B‐SOSE) is introduced that
includes carbon and oxygen fields as well as nutrient cycles. The state estimate is …

Diel and seasonal variations in abundance, activity, and structure of particle-attached vs free-
living bacterial communities were investigated in offshore NW Mediterranean Sea (0–1000 …

Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) chlorophyll data were assimilated with
an established three-dimensional global ocean model. The assimilation improved estimates …

Atmospheric deposition represents a significant source of nutrients at the Mediterranean
basin scale. We apply aerosol deposition fields simulated from atmospheric models into the …

The Mediterranean region is a climate change hotspot. Increasing greenhouse gas
emissions are projected to lead to a substantial warming of the Mediterranean Sea as well …

A new class of phytoplankton models with a mechanistic basis has been presented in a
companion paper (Baklouti, M., Diaz, F., Pinazo, C., Faure, V., Queguiner, B., 2006 …

There is growing recognition that rigorous skill assessment is required to understand the
ability of ocean biological models to represent ocean processes and distributions. Statistical …

The Ebro river flows to the Mediterranean coast of Spain. During its final stretch, the Ebro
behaves in a similar way to a highly stratified estuary. This paper describes the transport of …
