Effects of sea ice and wind speed on phytoplankton spring bloom in central and southern Baltic Sea
In this study, the effects of sea ice and wind speed on the timing and composition of phytoplankton spring bloom in the central and southern Baltic Sea are investigated by a hydrodynamic–biogeochemical model and observational data. The modelling experiment compared the results of a reference run in...
