TL;DR: The third primary production algorithm round robin (PPARR3) as discussed by the authors compares output from 24 models that estimate depth-integrated primary production from satellite measurements of ocean color, as well as seven general circulation models (GCMs) coupled with ecosystem or biogeochemical models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from a modeling study of air-sea chlorofluorocarbon exchange and ocean circulation in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, and compare their model estimates of oceanic CFC-12 concentrations along an ice shelf edge transect to field data collected during three cruises spanning 16 years.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a modeling study indicating that this pattern in the spring phytoplankton bloom is caused by intrusions of offshore surface waters onto the continental shelf, guided by relatively deep polar shelf bathymetry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a three-dimensional coupled ice/ocean model to better understand processes controlling the dynamics of the Ross Sea polynya and found that wind stress plays the primary role in the formation of summer polynyas.
