Functioning of the planktonic ecosystem on the Gulf of Lions shelf (NW Mediterranean) during spring and its impact on the carbon deposition: a field data and 3-D modelling combined approach

Abstract: Abstract.A coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical modelling is developed to address main mechanisms that drive the particulate organic carbon (POC) deposition in the Gulf of Lions (NW-Mediterranean). Low-salinity water (LSW, salinity <37.5) lenses detached from the Rhone River plume under specific wind conditions tend to favour the biological productivity and provide a good opportunity for validating a planktonic ecosystem modelling. A specific calibration dedicated to river plume ecosystems is then proposed and … Show more

“…The Eco3M‐S model is a multinutrient and multiplankton functional type model that simulates the dynamics of the biogeochemical decoupled cycles of several biogenic elements (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicon), and of non‐Redfieldian plankton groups. The model structure used in this study has been previously described in Ulses et al (), Auger et al (), and Herrmann et al (). Most parameter values are based on the study of Ulses et al (), but a new calibration was carried out for some parameters using several observational data sets (Kessouri et al, ).…”

“…The model structure used in this study is based on the same pelagic plankton ecosystem model as the one fully described and used by Herrmann [2007, chap. 5] and Auger et al [2011]. There are six main groups (zooplankton, phytoplankton, heterotrophic bacteria, particulate organic matter (POM, small (S) and large (L)), dissolved organic matter (DOM) and nutrients (or dissolved inorganic matter, DIM)), and 33 state variables.…”

“…As a result, the coupled model that is used in the present study is an interesting compromise relative to more complex (in terms of number of biological equations and parameters) models of bacterioplankton growth applied to shelf waters (e.g. Auger et al, 2011;Anderson and Williams, 1998). …”
