Influence of Rossby waves on primary production from a coupled physical-biogeochemical model in the North Atlantic Ocean

Rossby waves appear to have a clear signature on surface chlorophyll concentrations which can be explained by a combination of vertical and horizontal mechanisms. In this study, we investigate the role of the different physical processes in the north Atlantic to explain the surface chlorophyll signa...
