The challenges associated with meso- and submesoscale variability (between 1-100 km) require high-resolution observations integrated approaches. Here we describe a major oceanographic experiment designed to capture the intense but transient vertical motions mesoscale features in an area characterized by strong fronts. Finescale processes were studied eastern Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean) about 400 km east of Strait Gibraltar, relatively sparsely sampled area. In-situ systems...
Abstract Oceanic fronts are dynamically active regions of the global ocean that support upwelling and downwelling with significant implications for phytoplankton production export. However (on time scales inertial scale), vertical velocity is 10 3 –10 4 times weaker than horizontal difficult to observe directly. Using intensive field observations in conjunction a process study model, we examine motion its effect on fluxes at multiple spatial an oligotrophic region Western Mediterranean Sea....
Abstract. We show that from 1955 to 2015, the inventory of oxygen in Black Sea has decreased by 44 % and basin-averaged penetration depth 140 m 90 which is shallowest annual value recorded during period. The oxygenated surface layer separates world's largest reservoir toxic hydrogen sulfide atmosphere. threat chemocline excursion events led hot debates past decades arguing on vertical stability oxic/suboxic interface. In 1970s 1980s, when faced severe eutrophication, enhanced respiration...
Abstract. The Black Sea northwestern shelf (NWS) is a shallow eutrophic area in which the seasonal stratification of water column isolates bottom waters from atmosphere. This prevents ventilation counterbalancing large consumption oxygen due to respiration and sediments, sets stage for development hypoxia. A three-dimensional (3-D) coupled physical–biogeochemical model used investigate dynamics hypoxia NWS, first at then interannual scales (1981–2009), differentiate its driving factors...
To protect marine ecosystems threatened by climate change and anthropic stressors, it is essential to operationally monitor ocean health indicators. These are metrics synthetizing multiple processes relevant the users of operational services. Here we assess if selected indicators simulated models can be controlled (here meaning constrained effectively) biogeochemical observations, using a newly proposed methodological framework. The method consists in firstly screening sensitivities with...
The Land-Ocean Aquatic Continuum (LOAC) plays a pivotal role in the transfer and transformation of carbon nutrients from terrestrial systems to coastal waters, critically influencing eutrophication resulting excessive nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) loads rivers compared Silica (Si). Indeed, both agricultural practices on land biogeochemical processes near streams as well within estuaries control eventual export into sea. To address complex interplay that govern these transfers, an integrated...
Estuarine environments are complex dynamic systems and cornerstone components of the  Land-Ocean Aquatic Continuum (LOAC). As such, they play a crucial role in global biogeochemical cycles, acting both as conduits processors carbon nutrients between the terrestrial oceanic realms Earth system. Despite this significance, considerable uncertainties remain associated with quantification fluxes within through estuarine systems. In particular, interplay Organic Carbon (OC) degradation...
Marine gels are organic polymers spanning from dissolved Exopolymeric Substances (EPS; nm to µm) Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP; µm mm), playing a key role in marine ecosystems by enhancing flocculation between and mineral particles. This process significantly affects the size distribution, density, vertical transport of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) as well carbon cycle ocean. In turbid coastal environments, TEP produced phytoplankton determines seasonality SPM...
Marine renewable energies are part of the current energy transition strategy in Europe. Offshore wind farms (OWFs) North Sea currently supply around 25.8 GW power and aimed to reach at least 117 by 2030. Yet, on its own, remains partially unreliable for a consistent generation. photovoltaic (PV) installations increasingly considered suitable technology complement intermittent OWF.  In Sea, installation offshore photovoltaics within OWFs offers two significant advantages: (1) space...
Abstract We investigate the extent to which recently upgraded version of Ssalto/Duacs sea level anomaly product affects description mesoscale activity in Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS). Drifter observations confirm that new data set released by Archiving, Validation and Interpretation Satellite Oceanographic (AVISO) April 2014 (DT14) offers an enhanced for four EBUS. DT14 returns significantly higher eddy kinetic energy levels (+80%) within a 300 km coastal band, where structures...
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are an important source of renewable energy accounting for 2.3% the European Union's electricity demand. Yet their impact on environment needs to be assessed. Here, we couple a hydrodynamic (including tides and waves) sediment transport model with description organic carbon mineral particle dynamics in water column sediments. The is applied Belgian Coastal Zone (BCZ) where OWFs currently occupy 7% its surface area which estimated double next 5 years. represented...

Offshore windfarms (OWFs) offer part of the solution for energy transition which is urgently needed to mitigate effects climate change. Marine life has rapidly exploited new habitat offered by windfarm structures, resulting in increased opportunities filter- and suspension feeding organisms.
