Large-Scale Physical Forcing of Thin Layer Dynamics

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand how physical processes influence the formation, maintenance and dispersion of thin layers of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Using this information, our goal is to predict the spatial distribution and temporal occurrence of thin layers in the ocean.
