Homogeneous methods for ecological applications to the nutrient cycle are analyzed, and results presented according marine ecology work discussed. To do justice explanations, materials summarized, discussed improved both interested readers experts in field. Both serve informative popularizing as well applicable interpretive purposes and, order achieve widest possible dissemination, shared under strict supervision of earlier individual publications here. The aeolian syntheses quantify impact...
Abstract. In this work, the relative importance of nitrogen and phosphorus, considered as external loads, on Mediterranean biogeochemical cycles is evaluated. Biomass concentrations are analysed considering steady state response three-dimensional ECHYM model to three phosphorus atmospheric depositions, continuous in time. After reaching stationary evolutions, chlorophyll surficial maps vertical transects compared with existing datasets, showing a good agreement at their large scale sampling....
Abstract. Assessing the potential improvement of basin scale ecosystem forecasting for Mediterranean Sea requires biochemical data assimilation techniques. To this aim, a feasibility study surface biomass is performed following an identical twin experiment approach. NPZD generator, embedded in one eighth degree general circulation model, integrated with reduced-order optimal interpolation System Ocean Forecasting and Analysis. The synthetic "sea-truth" are winter daily averages obtained from...
Abstract. The analysis of the evolution chemical and biological characteristics Mediterranean marine ecosystem requires an integrated approach. Consistently, description, embedded in MFSTEP one eighth degree three-dimensional general circulation model, is tested used following a twin experiment model based on NPZD trophic chain: inorganic nitrogen, N, phytoplankton, P, zooplankton, Z detritus, D. Assimilation synthetic biomass data performed by means reduced-order optimal interpolation...
