PowerPoint Presentation - Impacts of Climate and Interannual variability on the seeding and distribution of Calanus finmarchicus in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank

Approach (2)

•forecast the next 20 years of the state of the North Atlantic Ocean using idealized forcing fields (wind curl, heat flux, E-P) representing IPCC scenarios of climate change

•

•Compile and use datasets on salinity, ice cover, IPCC scenarios, river discharge, hydrography, and Calanus abundances from the eastern and western North Atlantic to examine potential climate-related mechanisms influencing the Gulf Stream system, North Atlantic Current, and Calanus productivity and population dynamics in the North Atlantic Basin.
