PARADIGM: The Partnership for Advancing Interdisciplinary Global Modeling - Year 3 Annual Report
The long-term goals of this project are: To develop an efficient, community-based coupled biogeochemical-physical modeling framework that will enable the addition of new oceanographic processes in a straightforward and transparent manner, allowing new model structures to be developed and explored as...

The long-term goals of this project are: To develop an efficient, community-based coupled biogeochemical-physical modeling framework that will enable the addition of new oceanographic processes in a straightforward and transparent manner, allowing new model structures to be developed and explored as our understanding of ocean ecology and biogeochemistry improves. To develop such a modeling framework within the context of our initial, specific overarching scientific focus: an inter-comparison study between the subtropical-subpolar gyre systems of the North Pacific and North Atlantic basins, including an explicit coastal component, with particular emphasis on understanding: new paradigms for physical and chemical control of plankton community structure and function; the consequences for biogeochemical cycling; the effects of sub-mesoscale and mesoscale forcing, and the dynamics of long-term, climate driven ecosystem regime shifts.
