Physical oceanography - Developing end-to-end models of the California Current Large
Marine Ecosystem
|
The purpose of this project is to develop spatially discrete end-to-end models of
the California Current LME, linking oceanography, biogeochemistry, food web interactions,
habitat, fisheries, economics, monitoring, and management into a common model framework.
This framework allows for thought experiments, including evaluation of alternate management
strategies, identifying robust indicators, and assessing relative importance of different
ecosystem drivers in regulating important processes. NMFS personnel are conducting
this work in broad collaboration with other NOAA scientists, academics, and NGOs.
The specific work entails model development, scoping issues with stakeholders and
policy makers, running scenarios, and analyzing and writing up the results. Products
will include peer-reviewed papers, presentations, and workshops with modelers and/or
stakeholders. Management audiences include NMFS west coast regions and the PFMC.
The project is an on-going, stand-alone project with no firm deadline for completion.
Outputs of the ROMS model.
