This morning at @icshmo2025 we had 4 talks from the SOCCO team. The presentations discussed Southern Ocean NPP trends, global bloom phenology trends, the importance of mesoscale resolving models and the importance of increasing biogeochemical complexity in models.

RT @tjryankeogh: Global declines in ocean primary production underestimated by climate models
communities.springernature.com
The following study developed a model ranking system to reduce the uncertainties associated with future projections of ocean productivity. Declines are much more likely than presently predicted, but...

However even the best ranked models still underestimate contemporary declines in productivity. Future models need to better capture this sensitivity to ocean warming to improve our confidence in end of century predictions.

Models which project declines were ranked higher than those which project positive productivity trends at the end of the century.
