Approach
¥simulate basin-scale circulation fields for the GLOBEC decade of 1990-1999 using an eddy-resolving ROMS model extended to include sea ice and riverine inputs of fresh water
¥validate these simulations with a new assemblage of hydrographic data and the synthesis study for the decade by Hakkinen and Rhines (2004)
¥utilize a 10-component (lower trophic level) CoSINE biogeochemical model to understand the biophysical pathways connecting the three Calanus gyres during 1990-1999
