Abstract The Arctic experiences climate changes that are among the fastest in world and affect all Earth system components. Despite expected increase terrigenous inputs to Ocean, their impacts on biogeochemical cycles currently largely neglected IPCC-like models. Here we used a state-of-the-art high-resolution ocean biogeochemistry model includes carbon nutrient from rivers coastal erosion produce twenty-first-century pan-Arctic projections. Surprisingly, even with an anticipated rise...
Abstract Macrozooplankton and its grazing pressure shape ecosystem structures carbon pathways in the Southern Ocean. Here, we present implementation of “polar macrozooplankton” as a plankton functional type related fast‐sinking detritus class (fecal pellets) into biogeochemical model REcoM‐2. We use to assess major structure Ocean south 50°S. The represents zooplankton biomass spatial distribution reasonably well comparison available data. A distinct difference our from previous versions is...
Abstract Zooplankton plays a notable role in ocean biogeochemical cycles. However, it is often simulated as one generic group and top closure term models. This study presents the description of three zooplankton functional types (zPFTs, micro‐, meso‐ macrozooplankton) model FESOM‐REcoM. In presented model, microzooplankton fast‐growing herbivore group, mesozooplankton another major consumer phytoplankton, macrozooplankton slow‐growing with low temperature optimum. Meso‐ produce fast‐sinking...
Abstract. The cycling of carbon in the oceans is affected by feedbacks driven changes climate and atmospheric CO2. Understanding these therefore an important prerequisite for projecting future climate. Marine biogeochemistry models are a useful tool but, as with any model, simplification need to be continually improved. In this study, we coupled Finite-volumE Sea ice–Ocean Model (FESOM2.1) Regulated Ecosystem version 3 (REcoM3). FESOM2.1 update Finite-Element (FESOM1.4) operates on...
