Advection of Mesozooplankton Into the Northern Svalbard Shelf Region

The northern Svalbard shelf region is part of the Atlantic advective contiguous domain along which nutrients, phyto- and mesozooplankton are advected with Atlantic Water from the Norwegian Sea along the Norwegian shelf bream and into the Arctic Ocean. By applying the SINMOD model we investigated how much mesozooplankton is advected into the northern Svalbard shelf region. We also compare this supply with the local mesozooplankton production. To...
