NORWECOMThe NORWegian ECOlogical Model system http://www.imr.no/~morten/norwecom A coupled physical-chemical-biological model system applied to study primary production and dispersion of particles (e.g. fish larvae and/or pollution) Main partners: Institute of Marine Research Dept. of Fisheries and Marine Biology, Univ. of Bergen Dept. of Mathematics, Univ of Bergen The Norwegian Meteorological institute
first coupled physical-chemical-biological model for the whole North Sea physics based on POM (until now….?) runs operational (7 days forecast) at met.no http://moncoze.met.no environmental status, eutrophication issues, what-if scenarios, climate/fish relations,…..
