Microorganisms are the engines that drive most marine processes. Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account. Marine microorganisms are crucial for ocean health.

The continuous development and improvement of numerical models for the investigation of the climate system is very expensive and complex. At GEOMAR a new modular system has now been presented, which ...

The researchers also found that combining data from both the Maluku Strait and the nearby Halmahera Strait further improved predictions of system-wide conditions.

In their model simulations, climate researchers always have to make compromises. Even with the largest computers available worldwide, they can only reproduce the real world to a limited extent.
