I. (1) FONDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF BIOGEOCHEMICAL MODEL • 1. Modeling Tools 1.1 NPZD version The model represents the average behavior of different biological spices 1.2 State variable equations 2
I (2). FONDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL • 2. Forcing, Initial and boundary conditions • The present version is forced by the global SeaWIFS (Morel and Berthon, 1989) chlorophyll climatology and measured in situ data of nitrate from WOA database. • Phytoplankton and zooplankton are estimated (Feldman and McClain, 2006). 3
