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

作为美国GLOBEC西北大西洋实地研究第二阶段项目的一部分，该项目代表了Georges Bank和邻近大陆架特定地点生物物理建模研究的延续。该项目将使用达特茅斯有限元素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、分层和喂养的作用。还将对MARMAP和GLOBEC数据进行回顾性研究，以检查大陆架范围和年际/年代际尺度。对历史浮游动物分布的建模分析将说明缅因湾和斯科舍大陆架作为乔治滩种群来源的相对重要性。该项目包括一个系泊现场组件，用于测量乔治斯银行/缅因湾系统的主要流入。这些调查将与拟议的加拿大GLOBEC关于苏格兰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. ***
