Optimized Biophysical Model for Icelandic Cod Larvae
Dave Brickman
Department of Fisheries and Oceans
Bedford Institute of Oceanography
4:30 p.m., Thursday, March 9, 2006
Adult and juvenile fisheries data will be presented to provide background to the Iceland setting. The circulation around Iceland is described using data and a high resolution model developed specifically for this purpose. New ideas on the origin of the Denmark Strait Overflow Water will be discussed. Biophysical models contain numerous poorly known parameters. I describe a new efficient formulation of a biophysical model that allows for optimal determination of these parameters by minimizing the mismatch between model predictions and data. Details of the numerical method will be presented, as well as model results.
