| In last workshop … | |
| Completed 1995-1999 continuous run for FVCOM+NPZD; comparing data/model results | |
| Completed 1995 Pseudocalanus model run; using “stage with mean age” method; Testing different implementation of CPD | |
| Examining effect of freshening on phytoplankton dynamics (data analysis + numerical exp.) | |
| 1 ms. submitted to JMS + 1 ms. to be submitted to GRL + 1 new baby | |
| From last workshop to this one … | |
| Focus on CPD model experiments and analysis on model results for 1999 (ms in prep.) | |
| Completed freshening impact analysis (GRL + ICES) -> lead to NSF support to expand the work | |
| JMS ms in press + GRL ms in revision | |

| Spatial- and temporal- dependent mortality rate play a key role in determining population dynamics of Pcal. | |
| Population from outside of the Bank (primarily wGoM) is an important source for GB Pcal population; GB population is unlikely to self-sustain. | |
| Both T and Phytoplankton co-varying with Pcal Population; The seasonality might be triggered primarily by temperature variation. | |
| Next step: Model other copepod species (need detailed vital rates and temporal/spatial distribution information) |
