Abstract Subtropical gyres cover 26%–29% of the world's surface ocean and are
conventionally regarded as ocean deserts due to their permanent stratification, depleted …

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

Ocean eddies are coherent, rotating features that can modulate pelagic ecosystems across
many trophic levels. These mesoscale features, which are ubiquitous at mid-latitudes, may …

The land and ocean absorb on average just over half of the anthropogenic emissions of
carbon dioxide (CO 2) every year. These CO 2" sinks" are modulated by climate change and …

Life in the ocean relies on the photosynthetic production of phytoplankton, which is
influenced by the availability of light and nutrients that are modulated by a host of physical …

PISCES-v2 is a biogeochemical model which simulates the lower trophic levels of marine
ecosystem (phytoplankton, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton) and the …

Global increases in atmospheric CO2 and temperature are associated with changes in
ocean chemistry and circulation, altering light and nutrient regimes. Resulting changes in …

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

Nutrient and light conditions control phytoplankton division rates in the surface ocean and, it
is commonly believed, dictate when and where high concentrations, or blooms, of plankton …

Double-diffusive convection is a mixing process driven by the interaction of two fluid
components which diffuse at different rates. Leading expert Timour Radko presents the first …
