Simulation and visualization of coupled hydrodynamical, chemical and biological models

Abstract

This paper briefly describes the principles of hydrodynamical and ecological modelling of marine systems and how model results are presented by use of MATLAB. Two application examples are shown. One refers to modelling and simulation of the carbon vertical transport in the Greenland Sea and the other is a study on the effect of wind pattern for the invasion success of Zooplankton from the Norwegian Sea into the North Sea by use of particle tracking.
