How does
interannual variability in heat fluxes and
|
|
|
|
horizontal
freshwater fluxes modify the onset of
|
|
|
stratification
and subsequent primary production in the
|
|
|
|
GOM and SF?
|
|
|
• |
What is the
relationship between stratification and the
|
|
|
|
strength and
timing of copepod food limitation?
|
|
|
• |
How does the
timing and location of the winter bloom over
|
|
|
the GOM affect
the population structure of copepods
|
|
|
|
coming onto GB?
|
|
|
• |
Can food
limitation and the absence of deep resting stage
|
|
|
explain why Pseudocalanus
are not observed over the
|
|
|
|
Central GOM?
