| Summary: | This dataset contains the model output of a study to evaluate likely economic and ecological outcomes of ocean acidification in the California Current. Specifically, we have archived netCDF output files from simulations that accomplish the following: a) Use a Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) to predict present and future spatial projections of ocean acidification, as well as salinity, currents, and upwelling. ROMS was coupled to global circulation models (GFDL ESM2M) and IPCC CO2 scenarios. b) Build on previous literature reviews and ongoing experiments to develop scenarios for the biological response of calcifying benthic organisms (e.g., mollusks, clams, brittle stars) to pH. c) Use an Atlantis ecosystem model to project these direct impacts of acidification on lower trophic levels, the resulting food web-mediated response of harvested and protected stocks, and catches by US West Coast fisheries. Atlantis is driven by dynamic, spatially explicit fields from ROMS. See "Technical Documentation" here: ... |
