U.S. ECoSU.S. Eastern Continental Shelf Carbon Budget:Modeling, Data Assimilation, and Analysis A project of the NASA Earth System Enterprise Interdisciplinary Science Program Ocean Carbon Biogeochemistry Workshop Woods Hole, MA, July 2006 U.S. ECoSScience Team Eileen Hofmann (ODU) project oversight, 1D modeling Marjorie Friedrichs (ODU) 1D modeling and data assimilation Chuck McClain (GSFC) project oversight, remote sensing data Sergio Signorini (GSFC) satellite data analysis Antonio Mannino (GSFC) carbon cycling Cindy Lee (SUNY-SB) carbon cycling Jay O’Reilly (NOAA) satellite data analysis Dale Haidvogel (RU) circulation modeling John Wilkin (RU) circulation modeling Katja Fennel (RU) biogeochemical modeling Sybil Seitzinger (RU) food web and nutrient dynamics Jim Yoder (URI) food web and nutrient dynamics Ray Najjar (PSU) oxygen data, climate modeling David Pollard (PSU) climate modeling U.S. ECoS 1. What are the relative carbon inputs to the MAB and SAB from terrestrial run-off and in situ biological processes? 2. What is the fate of DOC input to the continental shelf from estuarine and riverine systems? 3. What are the dominant food web pathways that control carbon cycling and flux in this region? 4. Are there fundamental differences in the manner in which carbon is cycled on the continental shelves of the MAB and SAB? 5. Is the carbon cycle of the MAB and SAB sensitive to climate change? Outline of Presentation Theme 1: Development and implementation of circulation, biogeochemistry, and carbon cycling models for the east coast of the U.S. Theme 2: Data analysis effort – includes historical in situ measurements and satellite-derived data Theme 3: Limited field measurement effort Theme 4: Implementation of data assimilative models Theme 5: Interfacing circulation and biogeochemical models w
