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

Possible high resolution fields

•Use Feature oriented regional modeling system (FORMS) for GOMGB (Gangopadhyay et al., 2003)

•270 non-dimensional structure functions for temperature and salinity along and across seven features in the Gulf/Bank

•Calibrate with SST 5-day composite (Bisagni’s lab)

•Use basin-scale simulations as background

•Multiscale Objective analysis will meld basin-to-regional scale fields

•Use these high-resolution fields for biological simulations
