    Description: The MSM89 expedition of Maria S Merian was a contribution to the international research initiative EUREC4A (www.eurec4a.eu). The cruise was carried out in concert with the M161 campaign on RV METEOR (Germany) and the EUREC4A-OA campaign on NO L’ATALANTE (France). Airplane and drone operations as well as well as continuous observations from the ground-based site on the Island of Barbados (BCO) were considered during the MSM89 campaign. Moreover, the cruise was coordinated with ships and Saildrone© operations in the context of the US American ATOMIC project. The overall goal of the EUREC4A field campaign was to collect observational data that will enable research on dynamic and thermodynamic processes in the atmosphere and ocean that will bring the understanding of the role of clouds in the climate system to a new level. MSM89 had its focus on the ocean/atmosphere coupling across ocean mesoscale vortices. For this purpose, both ocean and atmosphere profile measurements were carried out to observe the temporal evolution and spatial heterogeneity of the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layer. Autonomous observing platforms (underwater glider) and a ship towed platform (Cloudkite) augmented the ship-based observations. Incubation experiments were performed to determine Nitrogen fixation rates, the gas exchange for carbon dioxide and oxygen uptake.

    Description: Filaments and fronts play a crucial role for a net offshore and downward nutrient transport in Eastern Boundary Upwelling Regions (EBUS) and thereby reduce primary production. Often studies are either based on observations or model simulations but seldom both approaches are combined quantitatively to assess the importance of filaments for primary production and nutrient transport. Here we combine targeted interdisciplinary shipboard observations of a cold filament off Peru with submesoscale-permitting (1/45°) coupled physical (CROCO) and biogeochemical (PISCES) model simulations to (i) evaluate the model simulations in detail, including the timescales of biogeochemical modification of the newly upwelled water and (ii) quantify the net effect of submesoscale fronts and filaments on primary production of the Peruvian upwelling system. The observed filament contains relatively cold, fresh and nutrient-rich waters originating in the coastal upwelling. Enhanced nitrate concentrations and offshore velocities of up to 0.5 m s−1 within the filament suggest an offshore transport of nutrients. Surface chlorophyll in the filament is a factor 4 lower than at the upwelling front while surface primary production is a factor 2 higher, highlighting the additional value of direct rate measurements for model validation. The simulation exhibits filaments that are similar in horizontal and vertical scale compared to the observed filament. Nitrate concentrations and primary pro- duction within filaments in the model are comparable to observations as well, justifying further analysis of nitrate uptake and subduction using the model. Virtual Lagrangian floats were released in the subsurface waters along the shelf and biogeochemical variables tracked along the trajectories of floats upwelled near the coast. In the submesoscale-permitting (1/45°) simulation 43.0 % of upwelled floats and 40.6 % of upwelled nitrate is subducted within 20 days after upwelling, which corresponds to an increase of nitrate subduction compared to a mesoscale-resolving (1/9°) simulation by 13.9 %. This suggests that submesoscale processes further reduce primary production by amplifying the downward and offshore export of nutrients found in previous mesoscale studies, which are thus likely to underestimate the reduction in primary production due to eddy-fluxes. Moreover, this downward and offshore transport could also enhance the export of fresh organic matter below the photic zone and thereby potentially stimulate microbial activity in the upper offshore oxygen minimum zone.
