Particulate organic carbon dynamics in the Gulf of Lion shelf (NW Mediterranean) using a coupled hydrodynamic–biogeochemical model

چکیده

Abstract. The Gulf of Lion shelf (GoL, NW Mediterranean) is one the most productive areas in Mediterranean Sea. A 3D coupled hydrodynamic–biogeochemical model used to study mechanisms that drive particulate organic carbon (POC) dynamics over shelf. set observations, including temporal series from a coastal station, remote sensing surface chlorophyll a, and glider deployment, validate distribution physical biogeochemical variables model. reproduces time spatial evolution temperature, nitrate concentrations well shows clear annual cycle gross primary production respiration. We estimate an net ∼ 200 × 104 t C yr−1 at scale marked by coast-slope increase with maximal values eastern region. Our results show favoured inputs nutrients imported offshore waters, representing 3 15 times Rhône terms phosphate.

Operational analysis of NW Mediterranean shelf

In this paper, we present the results from a high horizontal resolution numerical simulation of the northwestern Mediterranean using a z-level, non-hydrostatic, primitive equation ocean model (DieCAST). The high resolution allows an accurate representation of the submarine canyons that presides in the region. The model is one-way 5 coupled to a large scale model of the Mediterrenean Sea through...

Model-based remote sensing algorithms for particulate organic carbon (POC) in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico

Hydrographic data, including particulate organic carbon (POC) from the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico (NEGOM) study, were combined with remotely-sensed SeaWiFS data to estimate POC concentration using principal component analysis (PCA). The spectral radiance was extracted at each NEGOM station, digitized, and averaged. The mean value and spurious trends were removed from each spectrum. De-trended ...
