Effects of plankton dynamics on seasonal carbon fluxes in an ocean general circulation model
We discuss the effect of embedding a simple plankton model in the Hamburg model of the oceanic carbon cycle (HAMOCC3) [Maier-Reimer, 1993]. The plankton model consists of five components: phytoplankton, zooplankton, detritus, dissolved organic carbon, and nutrients. Interactions between compartments...
