PlankTOM Series N 2 fixers DMS producers coccolith. Nano phytoplankton Fe NO 3 Si CaCO 3 PO 4 NH 4 DOM diatoms

PlankTOM 5.0 Physics: OPA-ORCA (NEMO2) Resolution: ~2 deg, 31 depths 29 Tracers 3 Phytoplankton PFT: ‘Nanophytoplankton’, Diatoms, Coccolithophorids 2 Zooplankton PFT: Microzooplankton, Mesozooplankton

Food Web PlankTOM5.0
5
Ecosystem High latitudes: Diatom dominated Coccolithophorids: Don’t grow south of 40 deg yet Nanophytoplankton: Describe ‘Rest’, include Phaeocystis Microzooplankton: Important around Equator and high latitudes Mesozooplankton: High latitudes Generally: No extreme chlorophyll values
6
Chlorophyll - Seasonality No extreme concentrations Seasonality rather weak Concentrations in uM Low chlorophyll in the Southern Ocean Influence on DMS?
7
DMS Module DMSPp DMS DMSPd mortality grazing/exudation bacteria free lyase sea-air flux photolysis PO 4 T Fe
8
DMS Model 3 additional tracers: DMSPp, DMSPd DMS DMSPp derived from biomass and cell quota (S/C ratio) S/C content varies with UV and nutrient stress (Sunda, 2000) S/C shows slight T dependence (cryohypothesis) (Stefels, 2007) Literature S/C values (Archer 2002) Diatoms: S/C = 0.002 Nanophytoplankton S/C = 0.01 Coccolithophorids: S/C = 0.012 Literature values = minimal DMSPp/cell content, can vary up to 3-fold for all PFTs

DMS Dynamics
10
DMS Model – SMS DMSPd production: grazing by micro-/mesozooplankton (~74% available) mortality exudation/leakage DMSPd consumption:bacterial consumption of DMSPd cleavage of DMSPd by free DMSP-lyase
11
DMS Module – SMS II DMS production: grazing by micro-/mesozooplankton (~74% DMSPd available) mortality exudation/leakage cleavage of DMSPd by free DMSP-lyase bacterial consumption of DMSP (microbial yield 10%) DMS degradation:bacterial consumption of DMS photolysis at the sea surface sea-air flux
12
Results very low compared to Kettle Equatorial regions ok. But what is happening in the high latitudes????????? Lack of Phaeocystis may explain in parts High latitudes diatom dominated Poor DMS producers and grazed by large zooplankton… Preliminary Results DMS Kettle [nM] DMS PlankTOM [nM]
13
Seasonality Low seasonality! High latitudes a mess But I am working on it! DJF JJA MAM SON

DMS & Chlorophyll Get decoupling for cell quota = f(stress) Very little decouping without
