Spatial model resolution and projections of pelagic biogeochemistry into a warming future: the higher the better?
Recent advances in the development of compute hardware have pushed the explicit resolution of mesoscale (and, using nesting approaches, even sub-mesoscale) processes in global coupled ocean-circulation biogeochemical models within reach. This adds realism to the models in that previously-parameteriz...

| Summary: | Recent advances in the development of compute hardware have pushed the explicit resolution of mesoscale (and, using nesting approaches, even sub-mesoscale) processes in global coupled ocean-circulation biogeochemical models within reach. This adds realism to the models in that previously-parameterized processes can now be explicitly resolved. Analogous reasoning suggests that this also adds to the realism of model-based projections. Using examples of our modeling work in the Baltic Sea, the subtropical North Atlantic, the Southern Ocean and off Mauretania we will put the latter hypothesis to the test. |
