ABSTRACTOPP-9814324MASLOWSKI, WIESLAWNAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOLThis project will model the carbon cycle in the Arctic Ocean by attempting to couple separate biological and physical models of processes that interact in the ocean. The coupling of the models, for example, will facilitate examination of the effect of small scale physical forcing on the ecosystem, a process known to be important at the edge the continental shelf. The models will allow prediction of the effects of global change on the arctic shelf-basin ecosystem. The changes are potentially critical to the viability of the ecosystem that supports high biologic productivity on the continental shelf. The results of this project are expected to provide input for planning a large Phase 2 field program of the Shelf Basin Interactions project in 2002.

该项目将通过尝试耦合在海洋中相互作用的独立的生物和物理过程模型来模拟北冰洋的碳循环。例如，这些模型的耦合将有助于研究小规模物理强迫对生态系统的影响，这一过程在大陆架边缘被认为是重要的。这些模型将能够预测全球变化对北冰洋陆架盆地生态系统的影响。这些变化可能对支持大陆架高生物生产力的生态系统的生存能力至关重要。预计该项目的结果将为规划2002年陆架盆地相互作用项目的大型第二阶段实地方案提供投入。
