Scale interactions of climate and marine ecosystems

Convenors: Richard Beamish (Canada/PICES), Kuh Kim (Korea/PICES), Kelvin Richards (U.S.A./CLIVAR) and Ichiro Yasuda (Japan)

The physical climate system varies on a wide range of scales: changing storminess and severe weather, recognised modes of variability (such as NAO, PDO and ENSO), and changes to mean global characteristics. Likewise the marine ecosystem has many interacting scales: small-scale patchiness vs global, shelf vs deep-sea populations, and individuals vs communities. To date, most studies considering the impact of the complexities of climate variability on the equally complex marine ecosystem have used correlation statistics of a given population and physical climate indices. We need to go beyond simple correlations to tease out the relationships between the changing physical and biological systems if we are to understand what controls what. How do the various scales of climate variability project onto the variability of the population of a given species or the ecosystem as a whole? How does the changing climate impact on the scale interactions of the biogeochemical system? Are the time-series we have long enough to draw meaningful conclusions? What do we need to get right in models used to predict the impact of climate change on the marine ecosystem and fisheries?

The workshop will bring together experts in the physical oceanography of the Pacific, climate dynamics and variability, marine ecosystems and biogeochemistry, and fisheries. The workshop is charged to produce statements on our present understanding of, or lack thereof, the impact of climate variability on the marine eco- and biogeochemical system, what we can hope to extract from combining extant datasets, and strategies for numerical experimentation, observational networks and data assimilation, that will improve our knowledge and predictive capabilities. Sufficient enthusiasm by the participants will result in the publication of a special issue of a leading international journal.
