Participation to the 43rd CIESM congress
Gérald GREGORI has presented a poster at the 43rd CIESM Congress in Palermo, Sicily (Italy).
This work which is part of the international BioSWOT project is about “COUPLING BETWEEN FINE-SCALE STRUCTURE AND BIODIVERSITY: WHY PHYTOPLANKTON DYNAMICS IS CONTRASTED ACROSS A FRONTAL SYSTEM IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA”.
The oceanic fine scales (1-100 km, with lifetimes of days to weeks) profoundly influence ocean dynamics and ecology. Their energetic dynamics create strong gradients with vertical transport, linking surface and deep layers. Despite advancements in numerical modeling, empirical evidence for fine-scale processes remains limited. Remote sensing, with the new NASA-CNES
SWOT satellite, offers synoptic views crucial for understanding spatio-temporal variability. The BIOSWOT-Med campaign (2023) focused on the Mediterranean Sea, known for high biodiversity and oligotrophic conditions. The adaptive sampling strategy and innovative methodologies achieved high spatio-temporal resolution. Preliminary results show the coupling between physical and biological processes at fine-scale.
