Summary

Monitoring the Environment in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

To cite this version: Laurent Coppola, Patrick Raimbault, Laurent Mortier, Pierre Testor. The Mediterranean Ocean Observing System for the Environment (MOOSE) network integrates a range of platforms to detect and identify long-term environmental anomalies. Since 2010, the Mediterranean Ocean Observing System for the Environment (MOOSE) network has integrated multiple ocean observing platforms to detect and identify long-term environmental anomalies and to define effective health indicators in the northwestern Mediterranean basin. The northwestern Mediterranean basin is a very dynamic region: It concentrates many physical processes that are of great importance to the global-scale functioning of the oceans. In this region, intense deep open-sea convection and shelf water cascading occur every winter. The intense vertical mixing that results is essential to replenishing nutrient stocks and for the development of phytoplankton, which forms the basis of the marine food chain and play a key role in the carbon biological pump
