The existence, sources, distribution, circulation, and physicochemical nature of macroscale
oceanic water bodies have long been a focus of oceanographic inquiry. Building on that …

Metrics of the spatiotemporal variability of the physical and biological properties of Large
Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) are critical indices of the trends and changes in these coastal …

This paper looks at experiential feedback and the technical and scientific challenges tied to
the MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE cruise that took place in the Mediterranean Sea in spring 2019 …

Ocean warming and deoxygenation are affecting the physiological performance of marine
species by increasing their oxygen demand while reducing oxygen supply. Impacts on …

Marine temperature extremes are anomalous ocean temperature events, often persisting
over several weeks or longer, with potential impacts on physical and ecological processes …

Regionalisation aims at delimiting provinces within which physical conditions, chemical
properties, and biological communities are reasonably homogeneous. This article proposes …

Aim Following the biogeographical approach implemented by Longhurst for the epipelagic
layer, we propose here to identify a biogeochemical 3‐D partition for the mesopelagic layer …

Aim The distribution of zooplankton functional traits is a key factor for regulating food web
dynamics and carbon cycling in the oceans. Yet, we lack a clear understanding of how many …

Abstract Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) is a crucial pigment in algae and macrophytes, which makes
the concentration of total Chl-a in the water column (total Chl-a) an essential indicator for …

With increasing depth, the ocean is less sampled for physical, chemical and biological
variables. Using the Global Marine Environmental Datasets (GMED) and Ecological Marine …
