Impact of Pacific Ocean Heatwaves on Phytoplankton Community Composition
Leveraging NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) computing resources, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center researchers assimilated satellite ocean color data into an ocean biogeochemical model to describe changes in the abundance of phytoplankton functional types during the last decade’s (2010s) warm anomalies in the equatorial and northeastern Pacific Ocean.
