Plankton lattices and the role of chaos in plankton patchiness.
Spatiotemporal and interspecies irregularities in planktonic populations have been widely observed. Much research into the drivers of such plankton patches has been initiated over the past few decades but only recently have the dynamics of the interacting patches themselves been considered. We take a coupled lattice approach to model continuous-in-time plankton patch dynamics, as opposed to the...
متن کاملConditions for patchiness in plankton models.
Plankton patchiness in homogeneous physical environments is studied in this paper assuming that all involved populations disperse diffusively. A recent but powerful sufficient condition for the emergence of spatial patterns in models with any number of species is systematically applied to all food chain and food web plankton models and the result is rather sharp: all models explicitly containin...
متن کاملOn the origin of plankton patchiness
Plankton is the productive base of aquatic ecosystems and plays a major role in the global control of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, after intensive study, the factors that drive its spatial distribution are still far from being clear. The models proposed so far show very limited agreement with actual data as many of their results are not consistent with field observations. Here we s...
متن کاملHigh-frequency internal waves in large stratified lakes
Observations are presented from Lake Biwa and Lake Kinneret showing the ubiquitous and often periodic nature of high-frequency internal waves in large stratified lakes. In both lakes, high-frequency wave events were observed within two distinct categories: (1) Vertical mode 1 solitary waves near a steepened Kelvin wave front and vertical mode 2 solitary waves at the head of an intrusive thermoc...
متن کاملHigh-frequency internal waves in the littoral zone of a large lake
Observations in the littoral zone of a large lake (Lake Constance) revealed strong and periodic fluctuations of temperature and current velocity on timescales between 10 and 15 min associated with high-frequency internal waves. The peak in the spectral energy of the current velocity fluctuations associated with high-frequency internal waves follows the seasonal dynamics of stratification, descr...
