Model resolution matters for marine biogeochemical extremes

Published: Apr 20, 2026 by B. Y. Queste

A new paper in Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans investigates how ocean-model resolution affects the simulation of marine biogeochemical extremes.

The study, “The Role of Ocean Model Resolution in Simulating Marine Biogeochemical Extremes”, examines marine heatwaves, low-oxygen extremes, acidification extremes, and the influence of ocean eddies.

Understanding how model resolution changes simulated extremes is important for predicting future ocean conditions, especially in regions where physical transport and biogeochemical processes interact at small scales.
