| Zusammenfassung |
| During the second phase (2003–2006) of the Mediterranean ocean
Forecasting System Project (MFS) named Toward Environmental Predictions
(MFSTEP) one of the three major aims was the development of numerical
forecasting systems. In this context a generic Biogeochemical Flux Model
(BFM) was developed and coupled with hydrodynamic models already operating
at basin scale as well as in regional areas. In the Eastern Mediterranean
basin the BFM was coupled with the Aegean Levantine Eddy Resolving MOdel
(ALERMO). The BFM is a generic highly complex model based on ERSEM and
although a detailed description of the model and its components is beyond
the scope of this work, a short overview of the main processes, laying
emphasis on the parameter values used is presented. In addition the
performance of the model is evaluated with some preliminary results being
qualitatively compared against field observations. The model in its present
form is rather promising and reproduces all important major features
although there are some slight inefficiencies mostly related to primary and
bacterial productivity rates. |
