Description: Das Projekt "PROCOPE - Kopplung von Zooplanktonpopulationsmodellen mit 3d hydrodynamischen und ökologischen Modellen" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Hamburg, Zentrum für Meeres- und Klimaforschung, Institut für Meereskunde (IfM) durchgeführt. PROCOPE is a DAAD financed German partner program with France, Prof. Dr. Francois Carlotti. The aim is to study the coupling between physical and biological processes in coastal marine ecosystems, using zooplankton models. The representation of zooplankton in ecosystem models is still an open scientific question. Single biomass entity in so called NPZ models, shows a high sensitivity to zooplankton parameters. Zooplankton life durations from few weeks to months, and developmental ontogenetic size changes induce properties of the zooplankton compartment which cannot be represented similarly to phyto- and microzooplankton. - It is time to go beyond the NPZ type models (built for biogeochemical purposes) with new approaches and new techniques. This include new trophic food web models (see GLOBEC modelling report) but also new bio-physical coupled models. We wish to develop numerical models to examina the interactions of physical zooplanktonic population dynamics of several Sea/Baltic Sea Ecosystem and the Biscay Bayecosystem. The main goal is to analyse the zooplankton population dynamics in a three-dimensional frame using circulation, stratification, nutrient and phytoplankton forcing to study regional differences of zooplankton biomasses and weather induced variability. And to answer the following questions: How does the circulation field impact the distribution and population success of major zooplankton species? How do the behavioural and bioenergetic differences of these species interact with the circulation field, prey distribution and temperature to influence their relative population success? How does the interannual variability of the local environment (e.g. from large-scale atmospheric or oceanic fluctuations) modify these distributions and relative success of major zooplankton species?
