Dispersion/dilution enhances phytoplankton blooms in low-nutrient waters
The degree to which horizontal transport affects phytoplankton ecosystems remains understudied. Here, the authors combine satellite observations, ARGO float data and a simple ecosystem model to explore the impact of horizontal stirring on naturally-stimulated fine-scale phytoplankton blooms.
