Description
Summary:Biocomplexity of the Okhotsk Sea ecosystem (OSE) and its synthesis using a simulation model of the OSE, allowing us to assess conditions in the ecosystem, depending on global and regional changes in an environment, poses a difficult problem. By using this model it may be possible to establish some laws of dynamics of a trophic pyramid of the sea, and also to understand the mechanisms regulating the community of the sea due to external influences. This paper is oriented to the development of biocomplexity indices based on remotely measured environmental characteristics. Microwave radiometry is used as an effective technique to assess sea water parameters. Other ranges help to provide input information for the Okhotsk Sea Biocomplexity Model that will be developed in the framework of this work.
