Phytoplankton responses to physical forcings at different scales: case
studies in the northern Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of Maine

Abstract: As the foundation of ocean food web, phytoplankton support the
marine ecosystem by converting inorganic carbon and nutrients to organic
compounds. The phytoplankton dynamics are influenced by local and remote
physical forcings at different scales, and it is often challenging to
quantify the forcing and response scales and patterns in time and space.
Here, I apply physical-biogeochemical models and artificial neural network
to two highly productive U.S. shelf ecosystems: the northern Gulf of Mexico
(nGoM) and the Gulf of Maine (GoM), to explore phytoplankton dynamics from
event to interannual scales. My talk includes two major parts: in the first
part, I will present the short-term responses of phytoplankton dynamics to
a hurricane event in the nGoM and the impact of sediment-induced light
attenuation on productivity. In the second part, the seasonality of
phytoplankton dynamics and the interannual variability of spring bloom
magnitude in the GoM will be presented, with a discussion regarding the
possible driving mechanisms responsible for the observed variability.
