Analyze long-term
in-situ physical and
biological
|
|
|
datasets and satellite-derived sea surface
temperature
|
|
|
(SST) along with in-situ
physical, biological, and
|
|
|
chemical data
collected during the GLOBEC core-
|
|
|
measurement
period (1995-1999), and validate the
|
|
|
basin-scale
physical and biological fields to develop a
|
|
|
broader
understanding of C. finmarchicus seeding and
|
|
|
production.

Generate
four-dimensional high-resolution
(5-km)
|
|
|
physical
fields using basin-scale fields and available data
|
|
during
1993-1999, and run a series of IBM simulations at
|
|
|
higher
resolution in order to address
questions relating
|
|
|
ecosystem
variability on the Scotian Shelf, on Slope Sea
|
|
|
and within the
Gulf of Maine and on Georges Bank to the
|
|
|
large-scale
fluctuations of the NAO.
