  abstract = {{T}he tropical {A}tlantic has been facing a massive proliferation of {S}argassum since 2011, with severe environmental and socioeconomic impacts. {T}he development of large-scale modeling of {S}argassum transport and physiology is essential to clarify the link between {S}argassum distribution and environmental conditions, and to lay the groundwork for a seasonal forecast at the scale of the tropical {A}tlantic basin. {W}e developed a modeling framework based on the {N}ucleus for {E}uropean {M}odelling of the {O}cean ({NEMO}) ocean model, which integrates transport by currents and waves, and physiology of {S}argassum with varying internal nutrients quota, and considers stranding at the coast. {T}he model is initialized from basin-scale satellite observations, and performance was assessed over the year 2017. {M}odel parameters are calibrated through the analysis of a large ensemble of simulations, and the sensitivity to forcing fields like riverine nutrient inputs, atmospheric deposition, and waves is discussed. {O}verall, results demonstrate the ability of the model to reproduce and forecast the seasonal cycle and large-scale distribution of {S}argassum biomass.},
