Working Group 4 Coastal Biogeochemistry Forum, June 23-25, 2004 K. Lindsay, G. McKinley, C. Nevison, K. Plattner, R. Seifert Can coastal ecosystems be represented in global models? a. How many different types of coastal zones need representation (temperature / topography / phytoplankton types)? b. What processes do we need to capture / understand how well? c.Can these processes be parameterized / resolved in models?

Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) 3-dimensional circulation model U.S. West Coast configuration (28 o N - 48 o N; 1000 km offshore) Several models with varying horizontal resolution (20km, 15km and 5km) Partially to fully eddy-resolving 20 vertical layers (sigma-coordinates) Climatological forcing (Levitus T,S; COADS) Coupled to an NPDZ ecosystem model including a formulation of the carbon cycle

Can ROMS be Applied to Non-Upwelling Coastal Ecosystems? What Changes are Needed to NPDZ Model?

Alternatives to Prognostic Numerical Models? In some cases, simpler diagnostic or correlative models may also be useful a) Bakun Upwelling Index b) Coastal N 2 O Emissions c) Coastal CO Production
