Furthermore, progresses in observing system, such as the large scale metagenomic sampling cruises (for instance, TARA), have stimulated advances in our understanding in the functioning of marine ecosystems. This large diversity as well as the growing number of users are representing challenges for PISCES both in terms of its current capabilities and its future developments. PISCES is embedded in two ocean modeling platforms (NEMO and CROCO), in three Earth System models (IPSL-CM, CNRM-CM and EC-Earth) and in one operational system (MERCATOR-Ocean). Four living compartments are being explicitly modeled: Two phytoplankton groups corresponding to nanophytoplankton and diatoms with an implicit representation of calcifiyng organisms and nitrogen fixers, and two zooplankton size-classes which are micro- and mesozooplankton. PISCES is a biogeochemical model which simulates marine biological productivity and describes the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and of the main nutrients (P, N, Si, Fe) (Aumont et al., 2015). In addition to these four themes, training activities will be organized to share experience among users on the model and to help current and new users to make use of the model and to better interpret its results. The fourth axis focuses on the future evolution of the model following a two-fold objective: Improving the capabilities of PISCES by adding processes which are known to be important and well constrained by data, and exploring new emerging paradigms.
These programs relate to the World Climate Research Program on “carbon feedbacks in the climate system”. The first 3 axes correspond to the activities of dedicated international programs which are respectively SOLAS, GEOTRACES and IMBeR.
