Such functions could include processes such as nitrogen fixation, recycling, etc., where the structure would resemble models of genetic regulation that link environmental conditions with the expressions of particular genes (or in this case, functions)

For calculations of physical quantities such as heat and momentum fluxes, highly smoothed estimates are likely acceptable. However, for biogeochemical processes such as nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, the nonlinear nature of these processes amplifies the response, such that small changes in the predicted light field have significant biological impact.

Impacts of geoengineering With increasing economic and political pressures for carbon sequestration (e.g., cap and trade for carbon) as well as climate change mitigation, there may be both government and private sector efforts to fertilize the upper ocean through iron additions, artificial upwelling, etc.
