Model overview

PISCES is a biogeochemical model that simulates marine biological productivity and describes the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, oxygen and the main nutrients (P, N, Si, Fe) (Aumont et al., 2015)[1]. It is the marine biogeochemistry component of two ocean modeling platforms (NEMO and CROCO), three Earth System models (IPSL-CM, CNRM-CM and EC-Earth) and one operational oceanographic system (MERCATOR-Ocean). See https://www.pisces-community.org/.

Scales of interest

PISCES has been developped and used for studying a variety of biogeochemical questions at the global and regional scale (Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, North Atlantic...)[2][3].

Temporal scales include seasonnal to interannual variability. PISCES is also regularly used to study past and future climates (incl. distant past and futures)[4][5]

Recent applications

Several versions of PISCES have been developped to address specific research questions. The verified versions (with public distribution of the codes) currently include:

  • PISCES-gas which models the cycle of additional compounds emitted to the atmosphere such as N2O, DMS and CO (Conte et al., 2019 ; Séférian et al., 2020 ; Conte et al., 2020, Berthet et al., 2023)[6][7][8][9].
  • PISCES-iso which represents 13C and 15N (Buchanan et al., 2021)[10]
  • PISCES-Byonic which in addition to Fe, describes the cycles of the trace metals Co, Zn Mn and Cu (Tagliabue et al., 2018 ; Weber et al., 2018 ; Richon and Tagliabue, 2019, 2021)[11][12][13].
