| Description |
A methodology is presented for an objective evaluation of the relative success of an ensemble of simulations in capturing seasonal variability of chlorophyll a. Detailed discussion is given for an application to the North Indian Ocean. Simulations are based on a popular model of the marine ecosystem in the mixed layer. The model has seven components, namely, phytoplankton, zooplankton, bacteria and four forms of nitrogen. It also has two types of grazing controls. Present simulations indicate that the grazing control that allows preference to shift to the most abundant food type appears to give significantly more reliable simulations than the grazing control in which the preference is independent of abundance.
