Stirring, Mixing, Growing: Microscale Processes Change Larger Scale Phytoplankton Dynamics

The quantitative description of marine systems is constrained by a major issue of scale separation: phytoplankton production processes occur at sub-centimeter scales, while the contribution to the Earth's biogeochemical cycles is expressed at much larger scales, up to the planetary one. In spit...
