Methodology (1)
Set up and run an individual based model
(IBM) for the Northwest Atlantic, using the
high-NAO (1980-1993) and low-NAO (1962-
1971) forced physical fields from an ongoing
eddy-resolving North Atlantic simulation.
Perform a set of eddy-resolving basin-scale
model simulations during 1988-1999 starting
from already existing high-NAO simulations
(from the ongoing NASA project) and run the
IBM to study the interannual variability of C.
finmarchicus seeding and production in this
region.
