Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Ecological marine processes are characterized by distinct time scales, set by the rates of reaction, nutrient uptake. grazing,... Physical processes -which determine the transport and dispersion of the marine constituents- show, on the other hand, an extreme variability from molecular scales to climatic scales. Mathematical models, adressing specific ecological processes, must take into account those physical mechanisms,the time scales and length scales of which are in the appropriate or "spectral window", The spectral windows of marine variability are discussed here and it is shown that the most important ecological processes such as primary and secondary production can be associated with physical processes in the mesoscale, synoptic scale and seasonal scale range which characterize what one may call the "weather of the sea". |
