Exploring biogeochemical and ecological redundancy in phytoplankton communities in the global ocean. [PDF]
Climate change induced alterations of oceanic conditions will lead to the ecological niches of some marine phytoplankton species disappearing, at least regionally. We use a computer model to explore phytoplankton ecological redundancy (i.e., will other species be able to fill the ecological roles of the extinct species) and biogeochemical redundancy (i.

Multiple Dimensions Define Thresholds for Population Resilience of the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica. [PDF]
Thresholds or tipping points are generally defined as a point or a narrow transitional zone at which an organisms' abundance changes abruptly in response to relatively small changes in a driving force. Here, we use two statistical approaches to highlight different operational definitions of a threshold using the largely sessile marine invertebrate ...

GODAE Systems in Operation [PDF]
During the last 15 years, operational oceanography systems have been developed in several countries around the world. These developments have been fostered primarily by the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE), which coordinated these ...

Current state of the global operational aerosol multi-model ensemble: An update from the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP). [PDF]
International Cooperative for Aerosol Predictions (ICAP) model 550 nm total AOD RMSE of the 72 h forecast versus corresponding mean AODs for AERONET sites listed in Table 2. Large black dots are ICAP multi‐model ensemble consensus means. Individual models are in small coloured dots.

Fast Spin‐Up of Geochemical Tracers in Ocean Circulation and Climate Models
Abstract Ocean geochemical tracers such as radiocarbon, protactinium and thorium isotopes, and noble gases are widely used to constrain a range of physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean. However, their routine simulation in global ocean circulation and climate models is hindered by the computational expense of integrating them to a steady ...

Diel light cycles affect phytoplankton competition in the global ocean
Abstract Aim Light, essential for photosynthesis, is present in two periodic cycles in nature: seasonal and diel. Although seasonality of light is typically resolved in ocean biogeochemical–ecosystem models because of its significance for seasonal succession and biogeography of phytoplankton, the diel light cycle is generally not resolved.

Modeling Photosynthesis and Exudation in Subtropical Oceans
Abstract Marine phytoplankton contributes nearly half of the total primary production on Earth through photosynthesis. Parameterizations of algal photosynthesis commonly employed in global biogeochemical simulations generally fail to capture the observed vertical structure of primary production.

Abstract The eddy‐resolving (1/12°) global ocean reanalysis GLORYS12 is assessed against 14 years (2002–2015) of independent hydrographic observations collected at 59.5°N in the North Atlantic. Two multi‐observations statistical analyses, ISAS‐15 and ARMOR‐3D, and an eddy‐permitting (1/4°) reanalysis, GLORYS025, also contribute to this comparison.
