Short summary
Nutrient exchange at the ocean-ice interface is a key process to supply nutrients and support sea-ice algal growth in polar regions. Such fluxes depend on the characteristics of the flow under the ice, whether of smooth or turbulent nature. We developed and implemented a parameterization that accounts for flow regime in two sea-ice biogeochemical models. By enhancing nutrient fluxes, turbulence supports higher primary production, resulting in more than double the biomass accumulation.
