Does the low frequency variability of mesoscale dynamics explain a part of the phytoplankton and zooplankton spectral variability?
Observational studies of the last 20 years have revealed a spatial distribution of phytoplankton characterized by a wavenumber spectrum whose slope ranges between k−1 and k−3 (with k being the wavenumber), over horizontal scales ranging from 10 to 100 km. This strong spectral variability can be due either to the physics and/or to the biology. We show in this note that the low frequency variability (LFV) linked to the mesoscale dynamics may explain a significant part of the observed variability. Our numerical results also suggest that the difference between the phytoplankton and zooplankton spectral slopes can depend on the dynamical LFV.
期刊介绍:
Proceedings A publishes articles across the chemical, computational, Earth, engineering, mathematical, and physical sciences. The articles published are high-quality, original, fundamental articles of interest to a wide range of scientists, and often have long citation half-lives. As well as established disciplines, we encourage emerging and interdisciplinary areas.
