Over the past decade, our understanding of the Indian Ocean has advanced through
concerted efforts toward measuring the ocean circulation and air–sea exchanges, detecting …

While many harmful algal blooms have been associated with increasing eutrophication, not
all species respond similarly and the increasing challenge, especially for resource …

Ocean phytoplankton biomass is predicted to decline in Earth system models, due in large
part to an expansion of nutrient-deplete ocean regions. However, the representation of …

We present new empirical and mechanistic models for predicting the export of organic
carbon out of the surface ocean by sinking particles. To calibrate these models, we have …

Plankton samples were collected from 10 depths at 25 stations spaced at intervals of about
4° of latitude along a transect from the British Isles to the Falkland Islands. Four categories of …

Although it is nominally a tropical locale, the semiannual wind reversals associated with the
Monsoon system of the Arabian Sea result annually in two distinct periods of elevated …

One of the main objectives of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Studies (JGOFS) program is to
develop an understanding of the factors controlling organic carbon production in the ocean …

We investigated the feeding by 18 red-tide dinoflagellate species on the cyanobacterium
Synechococcus sp. We also calculated grazing coefficients by combining the field data on …

The JGOFS program and NASA ocean-color satellites have provided a wealth of data that
can be used to test and validate models of ocean biogeochemistry. A coupled three …

The in situ community structure of Prochlorococcus populations in the eastern North Atlantic
Ocean was examined by analysis of Prochlorococcus 16S rDNA sequences with three …
