1. What are the relative carbon inputs to the MAB and SAB from terrestrial run-off and in situ biological processes?2. What is the fate of DOC input to the continental shelf from estuarine and riverine systems? 3. What are the dominant food web pathways that control carbon cycling and flux in this region? 4. Are there fundamental differences in the manner in which carbon is cycled on the continental shelves of the MAB and SAB? 5. Is the carbon cycle of the MAB and SAB sensitive to climate change?
Goal: To develop carbon budgets for the U.S. east coast continental shelf (Mid-Atlantic Bight and South Atlantic Bight)

Approach:1-D physics + horizontal advection terms from 3D modelSame biogeochemical model as is running in 3D;
reproduces 3D model results very wellAssimilate ocean color or in situ data (variational adjoint method)
for optimization of biogeochemical parameters(e.g. max. growth rate; C:chl ratio)
Runs quickly
Goals:Test new parameterizations and formulationsPerform parameter sensitivity/optimization
analyses Quantitatively assess optimal model-data fit

SeaWiFS Assimilation ResultsSeaWiFS Assimilation Results
The variational adjoint method of data assimilation can be used to improve the model-data comparison:
max growth rate [d-1]
a priori: 0 = 1.0 optimal: 0 = 0.38 ± 0.20
max Chl:C ratio [mgChl mgC -1]
a priori: Chl2C = 0.0535 optimal: Chl2C = 0.030 ± 0.009
Data assimilation is used as an approach for improving model structure

Closing RemarksClosing Remarks
U.S. ECoS Goal: To increase our understanding of carbon cycling in U.S. east coast continental shelf waters
• Integration of modeling and data analysis from outset is critical to addressing project goal
• Extensive collaboration of observationalists and modelers—more progress results than each component working independently
• Model advancement requires quantitative skill assessment coupled with data synthesis
![Page 38: U.S. ECoS U.S. Eastern Continental Shelf Carbon Budget: Modeling, Data Assimilation, and Analysis](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56814435550346895db0cf99/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Closing RemarksClosing Remarks
• Interdisciplinary team focused on a single coupled circulation-biogeochemical is an effective way to address complex issues, such as carbon cycling in marine ecosystems
• Single model forces the team to resolve issues and reconcile differences of opinion—end product is stronger
