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

Figure 8: Surface nitrate (mmol Nm-3) concentration for the winter season from observations (upper panel) and our coupled physical (ROMS)-ecosystem simulation (lower panel). The observations derive from NODC climatology, while the model results are an average of five model years. The high concentrations of nitrate are located in the subpolar gyre.
