Short summary
Phytoplankton community structure at a high spatial resolution (<3km) was studied in the North Sea during a cruise in May 2011. A first comparison with PHYSAT reflectance anomalies enables the extrapolation of the community structure rather than a dominant type at the North Sea scale and was interpreted with its hydrological characteristics. This will seriously improve our understanding of the influence of community structure on biogeochemical processes at the daily and basin scales.

Short summary
In this work, we present observations of the organic aerosol content in primary sea spray aerosols (SSA) continuously generated along a five-weeks cruise in the Mediterranean. This information is combined with seawater biogeochemical properties also measured continuously along the ship track to develop a number of parametrizations that can be used in models to determine SSA organic content in oligotrophic waters that represent 60 % of the oceans, from commonly measured seawater variables.

Short summary
Sea spray aerosols (SSA) can be an important source of Ice nucleating particles (INP) that impact cloud properties over the oceans. In the Mediterranean Sea, we found that the INP in the seawater surface microlayer increased by an order of magnitude after a rain dust event that impacted iron and bacterial abundances. The INP properties of SSA (INPSSA) increased after a three day delay. Outside this event, INPSSA could be parameterized as a function of the seawater biogeochemistry.

The objective of this study was to better understand the variability of the phytoplankton community structure in small physical structures at the surface of the ocean. After identifying such a structure in the Mediterranean Sea, we deployed cutting-edge physical and biological sensors in order to observe at a high frequency the dynamics of this structure. From these observations we described the variations of the phytoplankton community structure and how the physics controls this variability.

Short summary
The ocean is a turbulent system, full of meandering currents and fronts of various scales. These processes can influence the distribution of microscopic algae or phytoplankton by upwelling deep, nutrient-rich waters to the sunlit surface or by actively gathering and accumulating them. Our results suggest that at surface, salinity is the main conditioning factor for phytoplankton distribution. However, at the subsurface, oceanic currents influence the phytoplankton distribution the most.

We carried out a literature review and an opinion poll of the JERICO-NEXT community to identify the main environmental threats in European coastal areas and gaps in monitoring. The need for improved monitoring was highlighted, e.g. through improved design and monitoring effort and better links with new technologies. The findings underpin the JERICO-NEXT science strategy to integrate linkages between physical, chemical, and biological parameters to address scientific and policy needs.

This study presents a novel set of in situ observations of phytoplankton community structure for the North Sea. These observations were used to validate two physical–biogeochemical ocean model simulations, each of which used different variants of the widely used European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM). The results suggest the ability of the models to reproduce the observed phytoplankton community structure was dependent on the details of the biogeochemical model parameterizations used.

We present a global biogeochemical model which incorporates ecosystem dynamics based on the representation of ten plankton functional types, and use the model to assess the relative roles of iron vs. grazing in determining phytoplankton biomass in the Southern Ocean. Our results suggest that observed low phytoplankton biomass in the Southern Ocean during summer is primarily explained by the dynamics of the Southern Ocean zooplankton community, despite iron limitation of phytoplankton growth.

The photochemical reflectance index (PRI) derived from remotely sensed data has emerged to be a pre-visual indicator of water stress. This study evaluated the impact of the varying shaded-leaf fractions on estimating relative water content (RWC) across growth stages of winter wheat using PRI derived from hyperspectral imagery. Results showed that PRI of the pure shaded leaves may yield inaccurate estimates of plant water status, but the accuracy of RWC predictions was not significantly affected.

We compared the ability of in situ spectral and satellite sensors to estimate the productivity of Mediterranean grasslands undergoing different fertilization treatments. The objective of the study was to identify the best set of spectral predictors. In situ CO gas exchange and vegetation reflectance measurements were used for this purpose. Our results show the potential of Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 satellites to monitor grasslands in support of a sustainable agriculture management.

Phytoplankton spring bloom phenology was derived from a 15-year time series (2000–2014) of ship-of-opportunity chlorophyll a fluorescence observations in the Baltic Sea. Bloom peak concentrations have declined over the study period, while bloom duration has increased. It is concluded that nutrient reduction efforts led to decreasing bloom intensity, while changes in Baltic Sea environmental conditions associated with global change corresponded to a lengthening spring bloom period.

Proximal sensors can assist in managing feed in livestock production systems but raw data needs calibration to biophysical values such as biomass and ground cover. Our pilot project monitored tropical pastures for 18 months using digital cameras, multispectral sensors, soil moisture sensors, and field observations. We developed stringent data cleaning rules that are applicable to other sensor projects. Proximal sensors were found to deliver continual and timely pasture data.

Relationships between ecosystem properties of semi-arid savanna and reflected solar radiance between 35 and 1800nm were investigated. Normalised combinations of reflectance for the near infrared, shortwave infrared, and 600 to 700nm were strongly affected by solar and viewing angle effects. Ecosystem properties of savannas were strongly correlated with reflectance at 350-1800nm, and normalised combinations of reflectance were strong predictors of the savanna ecosystem properties.

A hyperspectral lidar produces point clouds with multiple spectral channels (colours) for each point. We measured a pine and used the spectral content to estimate chlorophyll content. We validated these results using chemical laboratory analysis of needles taken from the pine. Our prototype has limitations, but still shows the great potential of coloured point clouds. Potential applications include forestry, security, archaeology and city modelling.

Light availability to seagrass is an important factor in their success. We deployed instrumentation to measure light in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, and found lower availability in the southern bay due to high turbidity (suspended sediment), while the northern bay has higher availability. In the northern bay, dissolved organic material and chlorophyll are most responsible for blocking light to the seagrass canopy. We also found that boat wakes do not have a large effect on sediment resuspension.

Short summary
Phytoplankton community structure at a high spatial resolution (<3km) was studied in the North Sea during a cruise in May 2011. A first comparison with PHYSAT reflectance anomalies enables the extrapolation of the community structure rather than a dominant type at the North Sea scale and was interpreted with its hydrological characteristics. This will seriously improve our understanding of the influence of community structure on biogeochemical processes at the daily and basin scales.
