PowerPoint Presentation - Impacts of Climate and Interannual variability on the seeding and distribution of Calanus finmarchicus in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank

NA Basin-scale Simulations

• Low NAO simulation looses excess heat as compared to High NAO simulation

• Is the NCEP climatology overestimating the heat loss in the system ?

High NAO Model Simulation using SOC Climatology (1980-1993), January 6

Low NAO Model Simulation using NCEP Climatology (1963-1971), January 6
