Activity summary

Physical oceanographer specialized in remote sensing, ocean colour, physical-biological coupling and ocean climate variability. I integrate data from satellites (e.g. ocean color, infrared, altimetry), in-situ (e.g. ARGO profiles) and models for various applications such as the study of interannual changes in ocean physics (e.g. vertical mixing, currents) and their impact on phytoplankton. I also maintain the global bio-optical in-situ database of the ESA OC-CCI project.

Highlights

ESA Climate Change Initiative - Ocean Colour A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications On the observability of the fortnightly cycle of the Tagus estuary turbid plume using MODIS ocean colour images Microbial plankton communities in the coastal southeastern Black Sea: biomass, composition and trophic interactions First evaluation of neustonic microplastics in Black Sea waters Coccolithophore species as indicators of surface oceanographic conditions in the vicinity of Azores islands Decadal changes in temperature and salinity of Central Waters off Western Iberia A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version two
