Daily Mail July 1999
Coccolithophore bloom
Emphasis was on scale
Structure just as interesting
BLOW UP
- nice example of patchiness
- why not homogeneous?
What role does physical circulation have on such patchiness?
- is stirring significant
Scales mesoscale and smaller <100km
Predominantly discussion of models
- need for updating
- observations a problem
- need clear skies for satellite  -> no time series
   - ship problems later
For those that like to know here is a plan…
Apologise to many who have seen it.
Coccolithophore bloom
- south of Iceland
- June 1991
Currents clearly stirring the phytoplankton
Clearly not acting equally in all directions
- lots of stretching
- filaments
Is a diffusing blob realistic then?
Rephrase question
CAN WE PREDICT A MINIMUM SCALE FOR THE FILAMENTS?
