A one-dimensional (1d) physical-biological-chemical
model was developed and tested by Antoine and Morel [1995, AM95 hereafter], with the aim of assessing upper
ocean carbon fluxes. This model was specifically designed to be driven by
satellite data, and it was used to evaluate the upper ocean CO2
fluxes at station P in the NE Pacific. Another validation of this model has
been carried out at the DYFAMED station (NW Mediterranean), where time series
of biological and physical observations are available. This validation is a
first step before the basin-scale application to the Mediterranean
Sea, as presented here for the period 1998-2000.
