The principal objective of U.S. GLOBEC research is to understand and predict the effects of global climate change on ocean ecosystem dynamics

Approach: Spatially nested biophysical Approach: Spatially nested biophysical modelsmodels

NCEP/MM5 -> ROMS/NPZ -> IBMNCEP/MM5 -> ROMS/NPZ -> IBM

Capabilities developed

1. One- and two-way nesting• NCAR CCSM

• HyCOM

• SODA

2. 4D Variational data assimilation

3. Food web (NPZD) models

4. Individual-based models (zoop, salmon)

Northeast Pacific Program: Spatial windows†

† CCS box contains multiple applications-dependent inner domains

“Reduced” CCS (underway)

• Inner CCS domain (mesoscale survey)

• 2-Km resolution

• 2002

• COAMPS 9 Km forcing

• SODA boundary conditions

• Will include ecosystem model (NPZD+Fe,

NEMURO+Fe)

• Forward runs / data assimilation

Dale HaidvogelInstitute of Marine and Coastal Sciences

Questions and Issues

• How good is the forward model?

• Does it improve upon the reanalysis fields?

• What processes / model details control the errors?

• Use of 4DVar to correct errors

• Redo above for the ecosystems

Recap

• Significant hindcast skill over several months

• Influence of boundary data, resolution, …

• Errors related to mesoscale evolution of flow?

• Assimilation next (physics first)
