The Mediterranean Forecasting system Pilot Project has concluded its activities in 2001,
achieving the following goals: 1. Realization of the first high-frequency (twice a month) …

Identification, understanding, and prediction of many interdisciplinary oceanographic
processes remain as elusive goals of ocean science. However, new ocean technologies are …

The purpose of this paper is to examine the use of a complex ecosystem model along with
near real-time in situ data and a sequential data assimilation method for state estimation …

Abstract The Red Sea exhibits complex hydrodynamic and biogeochemical dynamics, which
vary both in time and space. These dynamics have been explored through the development …

Development of end-user products in the context of operational oceanography requires the
combined use of multi-parametric real-time measurements and numerical models with …

Disturbance of the seabed resulting from bottom trawling affects ecosystem processes, such
as the rate and magnitude of nutrient regeneration. The potential responses of the plankton …

The ecosystem function of the oligotrophic Cretan Sea is explored through the development
and application of a 3D ecological model. The simulation system comprises of two on-line …

This paper outlines an approach to complex spatio-temporal marine ecosystem modelling
as applied to the North Western European Continental Shelf. The model presented here …

There is a general scarcity of oceanic observations that concurrently examine air–sea
interactions, coastal–open-ocean processes and physical–biogeochemical processes, in …

Ecosystem models are recognized as valuable tools to understand marine ecosystem
dynamics and address management questions, requiring an integrated approach of physical …
