This paper presents the coupling of a biochemical model with two different hydrodynamic models, a 1-D model (Coelho, 1996) and a 3-D model (Santos, 1995), corresponding to two successive work phases. In the first phase the 1-D hydrodynamic model was used to calibrate the biochemical model; the results of this phase made it possible to analyse temporal vertical profiles evolution. Both an Eulerian and a Lagrangian approach were used to transport biochemical properties. In the second phase, the 3-D hydrodynamic model was applied; this gave a regionalscale view of the processes involved. Biochemical properties transport was made with a Lagrangian approach, highlighting the origin of upwelled water. Goban Spur/La Chapelle field data collected during the Ocean Margin Exchange project (Anon., 1996) were used as initial and boundary conditions in hydrodynamic and biochemical models. Our main conclusion is that a 3-D particle-tracking model, coupled with a 3-D hydrodynamic model (with a proper turbulence closure model) and with a biochemical model, can be an excellent tool to quantify exchanges between the continental shelf and deep ocean.
