Full textThe Mediterranean Sea is characterized by nutrient concentrations among the lowest in the world, and which exhibit decreasing values eastward. At climatological scale, a subtropical-like regime dominates almost the entire basin, except for some areas where temperate like dynamics are found. Despite the importance of nutrients on these cycles, very little is known about their temporal variability, due to the overall data scarcity at basin scale. This work mainly aims to address this issue at various time scales. Data from the DYFAMED time-series were firstly examined, and allowed the description of the seasonal cycle and decadal trends of nutrient concentrations, in the northwestern Mediterranean. The analysis of atmospheric data from the Cap Ferrat station completed this work, and permitted to evaluate the relative contributions of the different processes that provide nutrients in surface. The study was then extended to the whole basin by considering measurements acquired by Bio-Argo floats (deployed in the framework of the NAOS EQUIPEX), equipped with a nitrate sensor (SUNA). These floats are about to fundamentally change the way we observe the ocean, and present work is among the first to document this ongoing technological revolution. They allowed, for the first time in the Mediterranean, the monitoring of seasonal variability of nitrate concentrations, simultaneously in different areas of the basin. This data also highlighted the significance of the high frequency temporal variability, which enables to reevaluate the role of some processes

Full textThe main objective of this thesis is to map the regional and seasonal distribution of Deep Chlorophyll Maxima (DCM) in the global ocean, to understand the environmental parameters that control their formation and persistence, and to estimate their contribution to global primary production (PP) budgets. This approach is based on measurements from the Biogeochemical-Argo Profiling Floats (BGC-Argo). A method for the detection of DCMs and their typology (biomass or photoacclimation maxima) has been developed and applied to ~60,000 chlorophyll a fluorescence profiles and particle backscatter coefficient (respective proxies of chlorophyll a concentration [Chla], and particulate organic carbon). From this classification, the spatial and temporal occurrence of DCMs was described in 28 regions of the world ocean, allowing to refine the description of their main characteristics (i.e. depth and intensity), and to group the regions into four main types according to the similarity of their DCMs. The estimation of vertical profiles of nitrate concentration and downward irradiance then allowed to describe the main environmental configurations of the different types of regions. In a second step, the impact of mesoscale eddies was studied on the presence of DCMs and their properties by co-locating the BGC-Argo profile database with an atlas of mesoscale eddies detected by satellite altimetry. Finally, an estimate of the contribution of DCMs to global PP was estimated, as well as a regional performance analysis of two models for estimating the vertical profiles of [Chla] from satellite observations, compared to the [Chla] profiles of the BGC-Argo database

Full textThe deep convection events are important because they form the intermediate and deep water masses feeding the global circulation. The Labrador Sea is the main site of deep convection in the North Atlantic Ocean and produces the intermediate Labrador Sea Water (LSW). The lrminger Sea was also cited but was forgotten during decades because of the lack of direct observations. This thesis provides the first description of the lrminger Sea deep convection at basin scale, thanks to the Argo data. Three convective events occurred in the lrminger Sea since 2010. During the 2011-2012 winter, the convection reached 1000 m and is explained by the sequence of the Greenland tip jets. The event of the 2O13-2O14 winter, reaching 130O m, is characterized by a strong preconditioning and a weak forcings by the Greenland tip jets.The convection event of the 2O14-2015 winter, reaching 1700 m, shows many of persistant tip jets. The advection of LSW from the Labrador Sea explains the deepest mixed layers observed during the last two winters. The results show that deep convection in the lrminger Sea is not a rare isolated event and plays a significant role on the climate balance

Full textThe ocean plays a key role in the climate by exchanging large quantities of carbon with the atmosphere. Atmospheric carbon is fixed at the ocean surface by phytoplankton that transforms it into biogenic carbon, part of which is transported to the deep ocean by physical and biological mechanisms; this is the Biological Carbon Pump (BCP). A tiny fraction of this biogenic carbon reaches sufficient depths to be sequestered for several centuries before it returns to the atmosphere, thus regulating concentrations of atmospheric CO2. Today, we know enough about the BCP to recognize its importance in climate, but our knowledge of its functioning is limited due to insufficient sampling of biogenic carbon fluxes. Here, we used BioGeoChimical-Argo floats, observational platforms designed to solve the undersampling problem, to explore a major mechanism of the BCP called the gravitational pump. The gravitational pump is the transport of biogenic carbon in the form of organic particles (POC) that sink from the surface into the deep ocean. Our study of the gravitational pump is divided into three axes. The first axis consisted of developing a method to detect blooms of coccolithophores, a major phytoplankton group that potentially has an important control on the transport of POC at depth. The second axis focused on the seasonal and regional variability of POC fluxes in the Southern Ocean, an undersampled area in which several floats have been deployed with an optical sediment trap (OST). Only ten floats were equipped with an OST, which is low compared to the whole BGC-Argo fleet (i.e. several hundred floats). Therefore, in the third axis, we developed a method to estimate the POC flux with the standard sensors of BGC-Argo floats. This method was then applied to hundreds of floats to describe the seasonal variability of the POC flux in many regions. In this study, we also highlighted the link between the POC flux and the nature of surface particles. For example, we calculated relationships between phytoplankton community composition and POC flux at 1000m. Using these relationships, we then used satellite observations to extrapolate POC flux to large spatial scales, such as the entire Southern Ocean and the global ocean

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to analyze the oceanic variability in temperature and salinity over the period 1993-2008. For that purpose, it is necessary to use the maximum of observations available, namely in situ data of temperature and salinity, but also satellite data of sea surface temperature and sea height. To reach our objective, several steps are necessary: create a solid and coherent database, compare datasets to have a better physical understanding of the contents of every type of data then develop methods of combination to assemble the datasets. The cross-comparison of the altimetric and Argo datasets allows at first to verify the quality of the Argo dataset. In 2006, Guinehut and al published a paper on the comparison of SLA (Sea Level Anomaly) and DHA (Dynamic Height Anomaly). Today, the Argo dataset allows improving the comparisons. We explain why and we detail the differences between both studies. We also study the impact of the removal of the seasonal cycle and the influence of the vertical structure of the ocean in the barotrope / barocline distribution of the oceanic circulation. We end on the analysis of the SLA-DHA signal in term of seasonal and inter-annual circulation at 1000 meters deep. Armor3d Field, combination of satellite fields and in situ profiles exist for several years. The recent dataset supplied by Argo profilers allows improving considerably the parameters of the combination, to cover a better geographical zone and to have deeper fields. We show that both types of measures are needed, even to study the large scale variability of the ocean. Finally, we use our Armor3d fields to study the oceanic variability of the last 16 years

"Étude des relations bio-optiques dans l’océan global et du fonctionnement biogéochimique des maxima de subsurface de chlorophylle en Méditerranée à partir des mesures des flotteurs profileurs BGC-Argo."

Full textThe main objective of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the spatio-temporal and vertical variability of phytoplankton biomass in the open ocean. First, we investigated the variability of the relationship between the particulate backscattering coefficient (bbp), a bio-optical proxy of the particulate organic carbon, and the chlorophyll a concentration (Chla) at a global scale. In subpolar regimes, concomitant changes in Chla and bbp correspond to variations in phytoplankton biomass. In contrast, in subtropical regimes, a decoupling between the two variables was attributed to photoacclimation processes or a change in the relative abundance of non-algal particles to the particulate assemblage. The Mediterranean Sea stands as an intermediate regime between these two end-members. Next, we analysed the seasonal and regional dynamics of subsurface Chla maxima (SCMs) in the Mediterranean basin by developing a classification of the vertical profiles of Chla and bbp. In the Eastern Mediterranean, SCMs corresponded to an increase in the intracellular Chla induced by photoacclimation of phytoplankton cells. However, in the Western basin of the Mediterranean Sea SCMs corresponded to an actual increase in carbon biomass at depth (SBMs). Lastly, we investigated the potentially significant contribution of SCMs to carbon production, by quantifying the gross community production in the subsurface layer. A method based on the diurnal cycle of bio-optical properties was used in order to estimate production in two distinct regions of the Mediterranean Sea during the oligotrophic season. Our study revealed that SCMs might contribute over 40% of the depth-integrated production in some areas, thereby suggesting the potentially important biogeochemical role of SCMs

Full textThe North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre exhibits the largest phytoplancton bloom of the global ocean. This major biological event plays a crucial role for the functioning of marine ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. The aim of this thesis is to better understand the bio-physical processes driving the dynamics of the phytoplankton bloom and carbon export at various spatiotemporal scales.In a first study, based on satellite data at a climatological scale, the subpolar gyre is bioregionalized according to distinct annual phytoplankton biomass cycles. The light-mixing regime controls the phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the different bioregions.In a second study, the new generation of BGC-Argo floats allowed for processes to be explored at a finer scale, especially during the overlooked winter season. In winter, intermittent and local restratifications of the mixed layer, triggered by sub-mesoscale processes, initiate transient winter blooms impacting the spring bloom dynamics.Finally, a third study showed how the high-frequency variability of the mixed layer depth during the winter-spring transition plays a crucial role on carbon export

Full textThe Mediterranean Sea is characterized by rapid circulation of its water masses, low nutrient concentrations with a strong oligotrophy gradient, and a more rapid acidification than the global ocean. The Levantine Intermediate Waters (LIW) that connect the two basins are marked by a minimum of oxygen (O2). Variability in O2 content, nutrients, and inorganic carbon remain poorly understood given their low density of observation. The development and validation of a neural method CANYON-MED, specifically designed for the Mediterranean Sea, allowed to derive nutrients (nitrates, phosphates, silicates) and carbonate system variables (total alkalinity, total carbon and pH) from systematically measured variables (pressure, temperature, salinity and oxygen, position in time and space). The dynamics of the O2 minimum in the LIW in the face of variability in intermediate water ventilation processes in the northwestern Mediterranean was studied over the period 2012-2020. The application of CANYON-MED allowed the description of nutrients and carbonate trends in this area, in response to the intermittent deep convection phenomenon. The importance of convection on the ventilation of water masses, as well as on nutrient and acidification trends are thus highlighted, in a context of increased stratification by climate change. Finally, the ventilation of the LIW has been explored in its formation area (Levantine basin) using Argo floats over the period 2018-2019, nuancing the injection of O2 in the mixing patch
