Use of a Circulation Model to Enhance Predictability of Bioluminescence in the Coastal Ocean

Abstract

The long-term objective is to contribute to the development of the components of limited area, open boundary, coastal nowcast/forecast systems that will resolve the time and length scales of the relevant physical-biological dynamics in shallow coastal environments. Our objective is to develop the technology and methodology to optimize limited spatial and temporal bioluminescence (BL) sampling for maximum impact on short-term (2-3 days) BL forecasts.
