Atmospheric Control of Deep Chlorophyll Maximum Development
The evolution of the near-surface phytoplankton bloom towards a Deep Chlorophyll Maximum (DCM) in mid-latitudes and subpolar regions of the global ocean is a well-known biological feature.

Influence of seasonal variability on the trophic structure of pelagic communities
Seasonal variations in hydrodynamic conditions play a critical role in prey availability at the base of the food web and thus have implications for trophic interactions at higher trophic levels.
