From microbes to large predators, there is increasing evidence that marine life is shaped by
short-lived submesoscales currents that are difficult to observe, model, and explain …

Lagrangian analysis is a powerful way to analyse the output of ocean circulation models and
other ocean velocity data such as from altimetry. In the Lagrangian approach, large sets of …

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

A new empirical algorithm is proposed to estimate surface chlorophyll a (Chl) concentrations
in the global ocean for Chl≤ 0.25 mg m− 3 (∼ 78% of the global ocean area). The algorithm …

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 …

A common dynamical paradigm is that turbulence in the upper ocean is dominated by three
classes of motion: mesoscale geostrophic eddies, internal waves and microscale three …

Fertilization of the ocean by adding iron compounds has induced diatom-dominated
phytoplankton blooms accompanied by considerable carbon dioxide drawdown in the …

The motivation to study the vertical exchanges of tracers associated with mesoscale eddies
is that the mean concentration of most oceanic tracers changes rapidly with depth. Because …

The biogeochemical role of phytoplanktonic organisms strongly varies from one plankton
type to another, and their relative abundance and distribution have fundamental …
