•Increased
sophistication of satellite algorithms
•Addition of
phytoplankton functional groups
•Addition of
elements
•Increased realism
of physical models
–Spatial
resolution (mesoscale eddies)
–Temporal
variability (El Nino; NAO; PDO)
–Better
physics (Gent-McWilliams; KPP)
•Distinguishing regions of
nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon and
iron limitation
