Collaborative Research: U.S. GLOBEC: Importance of Physical and Biological Processes to Population Regulation of Cod and Haddock on Georges Bank: A Model-Based Study

9634171 WERNER 该项目代表了乔治银行和邻近大陆架的特定地点生物物理建模研究的延续，作为美国GLOBEC西北大西洋实地研究第2阶段计划的一部分。该项目将使用达特茅斯有限元模型来调查乔治海岸和邻近大陆架地区的水循环和运输。 基于个体的鱼类早期生命阶段模型将包括湍流、分层和摄食的作用。 还将对MARMAP和GLOBEC数据进行回顾性研究，以审查整个大陆架和年际/十年尺度。 历史浮游动物分布的建模分析将解决的相对重要性的缅因州和斯科舍陆架的乔治银行人口的来源。 本项目包括一个系泊场组件，用于测量流入乔治银行/缅因州湾系统的主要流入量。这些调查将与拟议的加拿大全球生物多样性委员会关于斯科舍大陆架的研究密切协调。 ***

9634171 WERNER This project represents a continuation of a site-specific biophysical modeling study of Georges Bank and the adjacent shelf as part of the U.S. GLOBEC Northwest Atlantic Field Studies, Phase 2 program. The project will use the Dartmouth finite element models to investigate water circulation and transport on Georges Bank and adjacent shelf areas. Individual-based models of early life stages of fishes will incorporate the role of turbulence, stratification and feeding. Retrospective studies of MARMAP and GLOBEC data will also be conducted to examine shelf-wide and interannual/decadal scales. Modeling analysis of historical zooplankton distributions will address the relative importance of the Gulf of Maine and Scotian Shelf as sources of Georges Bank populations. A moored field component is included in this project to measure the key inflows to the Georges Bank/Gulf of Maine system. The investigations will be closely coordinated with the proposed Canada GLOBEC studies on the Scotian Shelf. ***
