Integration and Synthesis of Georges Bank Broad-scale Survey Results.

1. Physical / biological coupling.

b. Upstream and Broader Scale Effects Influenced by Climate Change.

This work could be facilitated through the use of a nested series of coupled physical/biological models that link the basin scale forcing to the local biological and physical dynamics, and through studies that foster the integration of target species data sets from other parts of the North Atlantic. Studies that investigate the regional and basin-wide manifestation of climate variability as they impact the study area are encouraged.
