Located in Benin, West Africa, Nokoué Lagoon is a vast shallow water body (~150 km²), fed by saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean and freshwater from the Ouémé and Sô watersheds (Figure 2). In addition to its natural variability, the lagoon is subjected to considerable anthropogenic pressure, primarily due to pollutant discharges from lakeside villages lacking […]

Since 2022, a succession of marine heat waves have been observed along the metropolitan french coasts. These have had devastating consequences for marine ecosystems (species distribution, mass migrations, high mortality) and major socio-economic repercussions (fishing, aquaculture, tourism). The Integration group, formed in 2023 and made up of researchers, lecturers/researchers and managers, brings together different areas […]

Researchers from LEGOS, NIOZ, LOV, MIO, Espace-Dev, SCCWRP, LOCEAN, and CEFREM investigated the seasonal to annual cycle and budget of dissolved inorganic carbon in the deep convection area of the north-western Mediterranean, using a coupled physical-biogeochemical model. Their results show that the northwestern Mediterranean Sea’s deep-convection region was a moderate sink of 0.5 mol C […]

Two 10-years models hindcast at 150 m and 1km resolution In a partnership with The Pacific Community (SPC), SIROCCO has develloped two level simulation at 1km and 150m resolution to produce Hindcast over 10 years (2010-2019) for the oceanic circulation arround Kiritimati island (Republic of Kiribati). The first stage at 1km is forced at the […]

Vietnamese and French researchers from LEGOS, LOG and VAST investigated the daily to interannual variability of the Red River plume in the Gulf of Tonkin using 6-year (2011-2016) high-resolution numerical simulations. Their results show that the temporal evolution of the plume surface coverage is correlated with runoff (with a lag), but that runoff alone cannot […]
