Temporal variability of vertical export flux at the DYFAMED time-series station (Northwestern Mediterranean Sea) [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The temporal evolution of the vertical export flux at the DYFAMED time-series station (Ligurian Sea) over the last 20years reveals a strong interannual variability. Winter convection allows particulate (and dissolved) matter to be vertically exported (“flush-down” effect). The efficiency of this process determines also the concentration of nutrients brought to surface waters and, therefore, the intensity of the subsequent phytoplankton bloom. The sequence “convection-bloom” is the main driving force of vertical export flux in this region. The present work attempts to better identify the parameters that control vertical export flux dynamics by observing a 20year time-series in relation with the temporal variability of mixed layer depth and surface primary production. The consequences of a more stratified water column in the future on biological productivity and vertical export flux are pointed out.
