Cornec, Marin. "La dynamique des Maxima profonds de phytoplancton : une approche globale avec les flotteurs BGC-Argo." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020SORUS383.
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 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 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 ocean is known to play a key role in the carbon cycle. Without it, atmospheric CO2 levels would be much higher than what they are today thanks to the presence of carbon pumps that maintain a gradient of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) between the surface and the deep ocean. The biological carbon pump (BCP) is primarily responsible for this gradient. It consists in a series of ocean processes through which inorganic carbon is fixed as organic matter by photosynthesis in sunlit surface waters and then transported to the ocean interior and possibly the sediment where it will be sequestered from the atmosphere for millions of years. The BCP was long thought as solely the gravitational settling of particulate organic carbon (POC). However, a new paradigm for the BCP has recently been defined in which physically and biologically mediated particle injection pumps have been added to the original definition. Physically mediated particle injection pumps provide a pathway to better understand the transport of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) whereas biologically mediated particle injection pumps focus on the transport of POC by vertically migrating animals, either daily or seasonally. Therefore, a better understanding of these processes could help bridge the gap between carbon leaving the surface and carbon demand in the ocean interior. To address this new paradigm, this work will benefit from the advent of recent sensors that equip a new generation of Biogeochemical-Argo floats (BGC-Argo). The first part focuses on the development of an embedded zooplankton classification model for the Underwater Vision Profiler 6 (UVP6) under strict technical and energy constraints. The second part studies particle and carbon fluxes in the Labrador Sea using BGC-Argo floats equipped for the first time with the UVP6 and an optical sediment trap (OST), providing two independent measurements of sinking particles. The last part consists in revisiting the BCP using a new framework called CONVERSE for Continuous Vertical Sequestration. With this new approach, we re-evaluate the total carbon sequestered from the atmosphere (> 100 years) by the BCP and its transport pathways on the entire water column, in contrast to the carbon sequestration typically assumed below a fixed reference depth

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
