 A four-dimensional mesoscale map of the spring bloom in the northeast Atlantic (POMME experiment): Results of a ...
A prognostic high-resolution model is established to provide an integrated view of the evolution of the spring bloom during the Programme Océan Multidisciplinaire Méso Echelle (POMME) experiments carried out at sea from February to May 2001 (16–22°W and 38°–45°N).
The model successfully predicts the time evolution of the main reservoirs and fluxes, except for a storm event during postbloom conditions, for which the biological impact is underestimated.
Considering the transient state of the system, this modeling exercise is also used to quantify the nonsynopticity of the observations, which occur mostly during bloom conditions, a crucial point for the data interpretation.

ePIC: Comparison of carbon and opal export rates between summer and spring bloom periods in the region of the Antarctic Polar Front, SE Atlantic.

This constant depletion corresponds to a 234Th export rate of 1115 dpm m-2 d-1, 35% of the value observed during the spring bloom.

These colorful images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite show a bloom of ocean plant life along a weak temperature front (a boundary between waters of different temperatures).

Blooms of these tiny plants, called phytoplankton, often occur in these latitudes at this time of year when the day length and solar elevation angle are increasing.

 El Nino to Produce a Big Spring Wildflower Bloom in the Desert (DesertUSA)
Weather, of course, is the single most important factor effecting the spring bloom, and in a typical (non-Nino) desert year, making a prediction is relatively simple.
Small rainstorms have continued to visit the desert since November (is this the work of El Nino?), and as of mid-January (when this article was written) precipitation was approaching four inches and soil moisture was a least eight inches deep.
The spectacular bloom of Sand Verbena which developed in November has continued to spread, and in addition many other plants have begun to produce flowers, weeks earlier than usual.

 ePIC: Spring Bloom in a Bottle - trying to understand the mechanisms behind phytoplankton succession
Correlations between algal behaviour and biotic and abiotic factors can provide valuable information, but, as long as little continues to be known about the requirements of individual species such correlations remain somewhat speculative.
To obtain a better insight, we cultured five key diatom species, from different phases during the 2004 spring bloom, under 5 different nutrient regimes at two grazer related stress levels and at three temperatures.
The results of this experiment can be linked to data from the 2004 spring bloom and show different life strategies, preferences and reaction patterns that might explain the observed succession during blooms.

 DesertUSA - Desert Wildflower reports
They bloom prodigiously for a few weeks in the spring, accounting for most of the annual wildflower explosions of the deserts.
Quickly pollinated, their heat- and drought-resistant seeds are broadcast by the winds, which then remain dormant in the soil until the following year's annual rains.
The term "annuals" implies blooming yearly, but since this is not always the case, desert annuals are more accurately referred to as ephemerals.
