US GLOBEC: Interaction of Zooplankton Vertical Migration with Episodic Mesoscale Advective Features: Impacts on Population Retention and Loss

小行星9632746 情节，平流功能可能会发挥重要作用，在输入和损失的浮游动物和仔鱼种群乔治银行。然而，这些中尺度事件的重要性还没有被直接量化，可能是强烈的时间和功能依赖。这种影响可能会因地貌类型、位置、季节和规模而异，所有这些都会影响地貌本身和河岸上浮游动物和鱼类幼虫的物种、丰度和发育阶段。作为美国GLOBEC西北大西洋实地研究第二阶段计划的一部分，该项目将确定特定浮游动物物种与所选机会事件特征的关联（如斯科舍大陆架飘带、斜坡或大陆架水包裹，或暖核环），并确定浮游动物的垂直迁移如何与流场相互作用，以影响这些特征中浮游动物的通量。 ***

9632746 WISHNER Episodic, advective features may play a major role in the input and loss of zooplankton and larval fish populations on Georges Bank. However, the importance of these mesoscale events has not been quantified directly and may be strongly time-and feature- dependent. The impact is likely to vary with the type of feature and its location, season, and magnitude, all of which will affect the species, abundance, and developmental stages of zooplanton and fish larvae in the feature itself and on the Bank. As part of the U.S. GLOBEC Northwest Atlantic Field Studies, Phase 2 program, this project will determine the association of particular zooplankton species with selected episodic features of opportunity (such as Scotian shelf streamers, slope or shelf water parcels, or warm-core rings) and ascertain how the vertical migrations of zooplankton interact with the flow fields to affect the flux of zooplankton in these features. ***
