Abstract: This is a new SEA project in FY 96 as a result of an internal reorganization. Some of the work performed under 95320-G and J is to be done under this project in FY 96 and beyond. This project would continue the trophodynamic modeling of phytoplankton and zooplankton begun in FY 95 and add modeling of ichthyoplankton, herring larvae in particular. It will evaluate and verify the model against field data to be collected using a variety of remote sensing and in situ sampling platforms.

EVOSTC Data Archive: The biophysical plankton model simulates dynamics in phytoplankton, zooplankton, and ichthyoplankton populations in response to physical (winds, light, temperature) forcing. The model is run with actual wind fields, measured from a mooring maintained by this project; and incorporates two types of phytoplankton, three types of zooplankton, and larval herring. Prior to FY 96, this subproject was part of in 320G and 320J.
