  1. Biogeochemical modelling at BSH Frank Janssen, Larissa Müller & Stephan Dick

  2. Daily forecasts: focus on features of public interest HABs oxygen depletion areas impact of river floods ... or whatever might be of public interest ... Hindcast/scenario simulations: provide information for HELCOM OSPAR Governmental agencies/decision makers, e.g. for Marine Strategy Framework Directive,... ... What is it good for? WGPBI Aberdeen 2010, Frank Janssen

  3. What are we aiming at? • We are going for an • operational • biogeochemical • model for the North Sea/Baltic Sea region WGPBI Aberdeen 2010, Frank Janssen

  4. How do we (try to) do it? • Stepwise Development: • Circulation model/Dispersion model • SPM module • biogeochemical module • data assimilation • physics (T/S) • biochemistry (Chl-a, light, nutrients) WGPBI Aberdeen 2010, Frank Janssen

  5. Meteorological Models (GME + COSMO-EU) forecasts up to 84 hours Wave Model (WAM) forecasts up to 84 hrs external surge, tidal constituents, river runoff wind, air pressure, air temperature, cloud coverage, specific humidity Operational model system at BSH Other forcing data: tidal predictions, external surges (BSHsmod.na), river input (BfG, SMHI) wave data wave data Circulation + Wave Model (BSHcmod.w) for North Sea and Baltic Sea ( 3dim., 5km) Surge Model (BSHsmod) for North Sea (2dim., 5km, barotropic) Circulation Model (BSHcmod) for North Sea and Baltic Sea ( 3dim., 5km + 900m grid) Model data archive: currents, water levels, eddy coefficients, salinity, temperature, ice data, wave data, meteo. data surge data Lagrangian Drift and Dispersion Model (BSHdmod.L) for oil, drifting objects and conservative substances Eulerian Dispersion (BSHdmod.E) for conservative substances, suspended matter and biogeochemistry Local Circulation Models for estuaries (Elbe, Weser, Ems)

  10. Biogeochemical module • Choose a general interface: GOTM-BIO • Start with „North Sea model“ • coupling of BSHdmod.E + ECOHAM4 (IfM-HH) • PhD thesis Larissa Müller, finished in 2007 • Implementation of „Baltic Sea“ model • coupling of BSHdmod.E + ERGOM (IOW) • Testing both models (and other models, e.g. BFM) • Combined solution for both regions GOTM: General Ocean Turbulence Model www.gotm.net WGPBI Aberdeen 2010, Frank Janssen

  11. Results from BSH biogeochemical model: North Sea • Calculation based on: • BSHdmod.e • GOTM-BIO (ECOHAM4 modul) • two nested grids (3nm, 0.5 nm) • pre-operational since 01/2009 http://behemoth.nerc-essc.ac.uk/ncWMS/ecoop.html WGPBI Aberdeen 2010, Frank Janssen

  13. Results from BSH biogeochemical model: Baltic Sea • Calculation based on: • BSHdmod.e • GOTM-BIO (ERGOM modul) • two nested grids (3nm, 0.5 nm) • pre-operational since 01/2009 http://behemoth.nerc-essc.ac.uk/ncWMS/ecoop.html WGPBI Aberdeen 2010, Frank Janssen

  15. Data assimilation • In co-operation with AWI, DeMarine project • PDAF*) filter framework developed at AWI • Implementation of (local) SEIK filter • SST data from NOAA satellite processed at BSH *) Parallel Data Assimilation Framework http://www.awi.de/de/forschung/wissenschaftliches_rechnen/forschungsthemen_wissenschaftliches_rechnen/sequential_data_assimilation/pdaf_parallel_data_assimilation_framework/ WGPBI Aberdeen 2010, Frank Janssen

  19. Future development: MyOcean • Further development of ecosystem models will be done in the MyOcean project (EU FP7 project , 2009-2011) • MyOcean is the implementation project of the GMES Marine Core Service, aiming at deploying an integrated pan-European capacity for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting. • * GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) is a European initiative for the implementation • of information services dealing with environment and security.
