Abstract
Oceanic biogeochemistry plays a pivotal role in regulating Earth's climate system by governing the cycling of key elements such as carbon, oxygen, and nutrients. Various metocean processes including wind, tides, currents, waves, and eddies significantly influence the dynamics of this system. In particular, ocean surface waves contribute to this intricate interplay by facilitating the exchange of heat, gas, and momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean. Although wave-coupled effects are substantial, studies on their impacts on oceanic biogeochemistry, particularly on phytoplankton abundance are missing in present-day research. Additionally, wave-coupled effects cannot be disregarded in re..
