  • An intermediate complexity ecosystem model
    NEMURO 1. Interannual variability of
    global marine ecosystem 2. Their responses
    to the global warming 3. Simulation of an
    iron fertilization experiment SEEDS I
  • Our studies in SOLAS-Japan 4. Development
    of the extended NEMURO 5. Response of
    biogeochemical cycles to weather disturbances

Original NEMURO coupled with carbon cycles
(Yamanaka et al., JO, 2004)
We had to divide diatom in 2 groups to adjust
NEMURO to an iron fertilization experiment SEEDS
I.

NEMURO for SEEDS (Yoshie et al., PO, 2005)
Separating into 2 groups

Comparison among 1 and 2 diatom models, and
observation in SEEDS

Time lag of diatom bloom in SEEDS

Why SEEDS has 5days time lag between
iron-enrichment and diatom bloom?

Dissolved iron conc.
The time lag is caused by the transition of
dominance, from pennate (PLp) to centric (PLc)
diatoms.

Our studies in SOLAS-Japan
  • We are developing a model representing following
    2 directions.
  • Tight coupling between biogeochemical cycles and
    marine ecosystem
  • Their responses to high frequency forcings such
    as weather disturbances

10
Extended NEMURO (eNEMURO) introducing subtropical
groups of plankton
New subtropical groups
Since original NEMURO was tuning to adjust
subarctic ecosystem, and NEMURO has to be retuned
in order to be applied to subtropical ecosystem.
We introduce these small-size subtropical
plankton. This is current status of our model.
We will improve the model for SOLAS by
introducing DMS, Fe, dust, etc.
11
Response of biogeochemical cycles by weather
disturbances
We focus on disturbances on the synoptic scale
(ex., storm).

Summary
We have been developing a intermediate complexity
ecosystem model representing biogeochemical
cycles. 1. Interannual variability of
global marine ecosystem 2. Their responses to
the global warming 3. Simulation of an iron
fertilization experiment We will contribute to
SOLAS using our ecosystem models.
Thank you.
