Ecosystem intercomparison between Nordic Seas and NW Atlantic
¥US PIs:
¥G. Lough, L. Buckley, D. Mountain, M. Fogarty, T. Durbin, C. Werner
¥
¥Norwegian counterparts:
¥S. Sundby, P. Budgell, ¯. Fiksen, E. Svendsen, V. Lien, T. Kristiansen

¥Objective: Develop an understanding of the processes controlling recruitment of cod and haddock on Georges Bank and cod in the Norwegian Sea sufficient to parameterize useful recruitment models and to forecast likely changes in abundance under a range of climate change scenarios.
¥
¥Modeling approach:
¥Global ROMS model run in Norway
¥Subsequently downscaled to NW Atlantic
¥Individual based models
