Outline

1	Modeling the influence of local/external processes on nitrogen and phytoplankton dynamics in the GoM/GB region R. Ji With help from: PI team: Davis, Chen, Beardsley, Townsend, Durbin, Runge, Flagg UMASS-D modeling group: Q. Xu, G. Cowles, R. Tian, S. Hu, D. Stuebe NMFS: D. Mountain, J. Hare, M. Taylor
2	Status 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
3	Model structure
4	Surface - Nitrogen
5	Surface - Phytoplankton
6	Transect - Phytoplankton
7	Model skills
8	Model vs data on GB
9	Model vs data on GB
10	Model vs data on GB
11	Model vs data on GB
12	Model vs data in Basins
13	Model vs data at CMO
14	Sensitivity to IC (GB crest)
15	Sensitivity to IC (Wilkinson Basin)
16	Sensitivity to BC (Scotian Shelf)
17	Sensitivity to BC
18	Nitrogen cycle
19	N demand and supply on GB
20	Modeled N flux on GB
21	Response to bottom N change
22	Bloom - freshening
23	Bloom “propagation”
24	Bloom “propagation”
25	Timing-SSS anomaly
26	Magnitude/NPP
27	Issues Huge amount of model output, O(TB) Very limited availability of data in GoM during GLOBEC year (N, Vertical profile) Boundary conditions (N/P/Z/D, T/S) Need free grad students
