Annual Meeting Report template WG 50 – 2022 2022 Report of WG 50 on Sub-mesoscale Processes and Marine Ecosystems The kick-off meeting of the Working Group on Sub-mesoscale Processes and Marine Ecosystems (WG 50) was held online in July 20, 2022 (see WG 50 Endnote 4) and later at the PICES 2022 Annual Meeting, the members had a mixed online and on-site meeting on September 29.

[...] In recent decades, many studies have been devoted to this interdisciplinary field, especially focusing on the oceanic meso- and submesoscales, but there are still knowledge gaps in understanding how these multi-scale oceanic processes configure marine ecosystems, i.e., building the connection between the physical environment and sustainable use of the marine resources, which is in alignment with t.
