Plankton blooms in vortices: The role of biological and hydrodynamic time scales
M. Sandulescu, C. Lopez, E. Hernandez-Garcia +1
We study the interplay of hydrodynamic mesoscale structures and the growth of plankton in the wake of an island, and its interaction with a coastal upwelling. Our focus is on a mec…
Biological activity in the wake of an island close to a coastal upwelling
M. Sandulescu, C. Lopez, E. Hernandez-Garcia +1
Hydrodynamic forcing plays an important role in shaping the dynamics of marine organisms, in particular of plankton. In this work we study the planktonic biological activity in the…
Kinematic studies of transport across an island wake, with application to the Canary islands
Mathias Sandulescu, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia, Cristobal Lopez +1
Transport from nutrient-rich coastal upwellings is a key factor influencing biological activity in surrounding waters and even in the open ocean. The rich upwelling in the North-We…
