Synoptic-to-planetary scale wind variability enhances phytoplankton biomass at ocean fronts
(American Geophysical UnionJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2017-06-01)In nutrient-limited conditions, phytoplankton growth at fronts is enhanced by winds, which drive upward nutrient fluxes via enhanced turbulent mixing and upwelling. Hence, depth-integrated phytoplankton biomass can be 10 ...
