Traditionally, Taylor caps have been invoked as the mechanism driving biomass aggregation over seamounts but emerging evidence based on higher resolution measurements highlights the importance of internal waves (IW) to the local ecosystem. These waves can flush the benthic habitat with cool water from depth and impact on nutrient supply over short time scales through turbulent mixing that may also influence fish behaviour. They are dependent on the regional stratification, however, and thus influenced by planetary-scale variability in oceanographic conditions. We present here detailed observations of the internal wave regime over a shallow seamount, called Sandes, in the central Indian Ocean throughout different phases of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) that modulated the regional stratification. A deep thermocline, caused by the 2019 IOD event precluded internal wave activity over the summit, whereas a thermocline collocated with the summit during 2020 when the IOD reversed polarity resulted in a 30 m amplitude internal tide signal (t ∼ 12.5 h). A shallow thermocline, observed during 2022, resulted in propagation of IWs over the summit with less visible internal tide. Harmonic analysis shows the presence of high frequency waves (t ∼ 15 min) on both flanks of the seamount during 2020 & 2022, which are likely a result of local shear instability, whereas 2019 shows an asymmetric response, potentially due to the strong background current and suppression of the thermocline beneath the depth of the summit. The potential importance of the waves over the summit to the local ecosystem may be attributed to the elevated turbulence measured at the thermocline during internal wave propagation, with ε > 10<sup>-5</sup> W kg-1 routinely observed. Our results highlight the ability of thermocline depth to act as a gating condition for internal wave evolution over the summit. These results show that, whilst the water column exhibits variability at short spatiotemporal scales compared to the frequently cited Taylor cap dynamics, it is also regulated by the wider basin scale processes. Thus, a more integrated approach is needed when assessing these dynamic and environmentally critical habitats to include the effects of physical oceanographic controls across multiple spatiotemporal scales.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"228 ","pages":"Article 103323"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079661124001290/pdfft?md5=69c0ff806a3b9722cc417038334d4c91&pid=1-s2.0-S0079661124001290-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141964570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the exchange of heat and freshwater through Davis Strait is known to strongly influence the subpolar North Atlantic, there are significant gaps in our understanding of the circulation and water mass distribution and transformation throughout Baffin Bay, in part due to limited direct velocity observations. In this study, high-resolution hydrographic, nutrient, oxygen isotope, and velocity data from two shipboard surveys in late-summer to early-fall 2021 are used to address these gaps. During the time period of observation, Baffin Bay was dominated by cold, fresh, nitrate-depleted Polar Water (PW) in the upper 300 m, with the coldest and freshest PW distributed along the western shelf and slope adjacent to Baffin Island. Only a small amount of warm and salty Atlantic-origin water was measured entering the southeastern bay at depth, which is diluted rapidly when passing through Davis Strait. Pacific-origin freshwater was dominant in the upper 200 m on the western side, with relatively small amounts of meteoric water on both sides of the bay. The circulation in Baffin Bay was generally cyclonic, consisting of a strong, surface-intensified western boundary current and a slower, weakly baroclinic eastern boundary current. Much of the eastern boundary current bifurcated to the west at the northern end of the Labrador Sea, and, as the remaining flow progressed through Davis Strait, it transitioned from surface-intensified to bottom-intensified. Basin-scale recirculation of the PW was documented using the shipboard data, which was also evident in the velocity field of an ocean reanalysis product for the same time period. Examination of the reanalysis fields from 1993 to 2021 indicates that the circulation in Baffin Bay was anomalously cyclonic during summer/fall 2021. Such basin-scale circulation anomalies can arise due to both the local wind stress curl pattern and remote wind forcing associated with the Arctic Oscillation index.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"229 ","pages":"Article 103322"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phytoplankton blooms are periods with high primary production, leading to elevated algal biomass fueling higher trophic levels. Blooms are typically driven bottom-up by light and nutrient availability but may also be top-down controlled by grazing. While phytoplankton spring blooms are common across all Arctic systems, summer and autumn blooms and their drivers are less predictable. Here we compare the long-term (≥4 years) bloom phenology and protist community composition in three Arctic fjords: Nuup Kangerlua in western Greenland, Ramfjorden in northern Norway, and Adventfjorden in western Svalbard. While Nuup Kangerlua is impacted by tidewater glaciers, Ramfjorden and Adventfjorden are impacted by river-runoff. We discuss and contrast the presence and predictability of spring, summer, and autumn blooms in these fjords and the main physical, chemical, and biological drivers. Spring blooms occurred in all three fjords in April/May as soon as sufficient sunlight was available and typically terminated when nutrients were depleted. Chain-forming diatoms together with the haptophyte <em>Phaeocystis pouchetii</em> were key spring bloom taxa in all three fjords. Summer blooms were found in Nuup Kangerlua and Ramfjorden but were not common in Adventfjorden. In Nuup Kangerlua nutrient supply via subglacial upwelling was the key driver of a diatom-dominated summer bloom. This summer bloom extended far into autumn with strong winds resupplying nutrients to the surface later in the season. In Ramfjorden runoff from a vegetated catchment provided organic nutrients for a flagellate-dominated summer bloom in 2019. A late autumn bloom dominated by S<em>keletonema spp</em>. and other chain-forming diatoms was present after nutrients were resupplied by wind mixing. In Adventfjorden, we observed only minor summer blooms in 2 of the 8 years, while autumn blooms were never observed. With global warming, we suggest that summer blooms will be negatively impacted in fjords where tidewater glaciers retreat and become land terminating. In fjords with rich vegetated catchments, harmful algal blooms may occur more frequently as summers and autumns become warmer and wetter. However, for fjords in high-Arctic latitudes (>78 N), the day length will continue to restrict the potential for autumn blooms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"227 ","pages":"Article 103317"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S007966112400123X/pdfft?md5=2a70f7b72ee600a4bf07d1f7bb4585f6&pid=1-s2.0-S007966112400123X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141845042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ocean holds an enormous amount of carbon, and serves as a critical source of nutrition for human societies worldwide. Climate variability and change impact marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems. Thus, having state-of-the-art simulations of the ocean, which include marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems, is critical for understanding the role of climate variability and change on the ocean biosphere. Here we present a novel global eddy-resolving (0.1° horizontal resolution) simulation of the ocean and sea ice, including ocean biogeochemistry, performed with the Community Earth System Model (CESM). The simulation is forced by the atmospheric dataset based on the Japanese Reanalysis (JRA-55) product over the 1958–2021 period.

FEISTY is a size- and trait-based model of fish functional types contributing to fisheries. We present an evaluation of the ocean biogeochemistry, marine ecosystem (including fish types), and sea ice in this high resolution simulation compared to available observations and a corresponding low resolution (nominal 1°) simulation. Our analysis offers insights into environmental controls on trophodynamics within the ocean.

We show that fine-scale ocean features leave imprints on ocean ecosystems, from plankton to fish, from the tropics to polar regions. This simulation also offers insights on ocean acidification over the past 64 years, as well as how large-scale climate variations may impact upper trophic levels.

Attaining this level of understanding is crucial for accurately predicting the marine ecosystem’s response to natural and anthropogenic perturbations. To address this gap, we developed a bacterial population model based on the von Foerster equation.

By considering microbial growth and decay, as well as DOM uptake, and nutrient release, the model is able to describe the microbial community’s life cycle, and the biochemical transformations of the jellyfish-derived organic matter. We fitted the model to results of laboratory microcosm experiments conducted to simulate scenarios experienced by ambient microbiomes during decay of two different jellyfish species in the northern Adriatic Sea. By interpreting the fitted parameters, we highlight the differences in the microbial response to different jellyfish species, namely how these affect the microbial community composition and the release of nutrients.
