NEMURO (North Pacific Ecosystem Model for Understanding Regional Oceanography) Experimental Plan Team (Oct. 2002 - Oct. 2003)

Acronym: NEXT

Parent Committee: CCCC

Chairman: Hal Batchelder

Terms of reference:

To help guide and prioritize requests for modifications, future advancements, extensions, validations, and calibrations of the NEMURO model and its successors;
To develop a scientific strategy, based on requirements of ecosystem models to be developed, for a series of workshops for testing hypotheses on the following topics of CCCC Integration:

Comparison of coastal ecosystems around the North Pacific Rim (and North Atlantic), using zooplankton and small fish as focal species;
Latitudinal comparison of North Pacific ecosystems, using multiple focal species;
Link basin-scale ecosystem models to coastal ecosystem models in the North Pacific, using salmon and associated species linked trophically to salmon as focal species.

To direct the development of advances in NEMURO by considering the scientific importance of the suggestion, the time and resources required to complete the task, and proposed suggestion's relevance to the goals of PICES and the CCCC Program;
To develop an outline of hypotheses testing model experiments during the early half of 2003, mainly through "virtual meetings" such as e-mail and other forms of long distance communication, and report to CCCC-IP/EC for consideration.
