An extreme North Atlantic Oscillation event drove the pelagic Sargassum tipping point by Julien Jouanno, Sarah Berthet, Frank Muller-Karger, Olivier Aumont, Julio Sheinbaum

“…Among the hypotheses being debated about the origin and nutrient source to support the blooms are either: a) an increase in nutrient supply to the Atlantic Ocean via continental, or atmospheric inputs, or b) long-distance transport of a seed population during the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) event of 2009/2010 and stimulation of blooms in the tropical North Atlantic by nutrient supply primarily due to seasonal vertical mixing of the upper water column. The aim of this study is to address these alternate hypotheses. …”
