Modeling the high-latitude ocean ecosystem - Opportunities and constraints

ACCASP: Aquatic Climate Change Adaptation and Services Program (Arctic) Ocean Land Five regions: Beaufort Sea, Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Baffin Bay/Davis Strait, Hudson Bay, Mackenzie Basin Assess available observations with respect to recent (~10yr) and longer term (30-50yr) trends and evaluate available model projections on 10yr and 50yr time scales for variables describing or affecting aquatic marine ecosystems => provide input and support for impacts, vulnerabilities and opportunities (IVO) analysis. Risks for ecosystems, fisheries, endangered species, infrastructure, SAR, safe shipping

Surface temperature increases throughout the Arctic region, with more warming over the ocean. Future warming is intensified in the Barents Sea, eastern Arctic Ocean, and to a lesser degree, in the Chukchi Sea. In all cases, the CAA and Beaufort Sea warms more than Baffin Bay. The RCP85 scenario temperature (not shown) has a similar pattern, with a faster rate of warming. Temperature CanRCM4 RCP4.5 Coutesy T. Sou

Constraints & Opportunities Limited observations (spatial and temporal coverage) Current model projections (ESMs) provide first assessment of e.g. Arctic ocean acidification. While providing a consistent picture (decrease in pH and Ω), they have insufficient resolution for regional applications. Regional downscaling limited to atmosphere: => Access to regional climate modelling efforts covering the Arctic (e.g. CORDEX) Potential for projections with aquatic basin scale models (forced by RCMs) – emphasis on multi-model comparisons Potential for management relevant model output for Arctic climate impacts - Links cause and effect...
