Abstract: These animations were created using output from a lower food web model linked to a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The lower food web was represented using a nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton-detritus (NPZD) model that included a quagga mussel (benthic filter feeder) bioenergetic model. The hydrodynamic model was the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). The NPZD-mussel model was implemented using the General Ecological Module (GEM), which is part of the FVCOM code. These animations were included in the supplemental material of a paper, additional details can be found there: Mark D. Rowe, Eric J. Anderson, Henry A. Vanderploeg, Steven A. Pothoven, Ashley K.

Description: Animation files show the 12-month “baseline” simulations for 2000, 2005, and 2010 (see Table 1 of the paper cited above). Temperature_1_animation.wmv: Surface temperature • Chlorophylla_1_animation.wmv: Surface chlorophyll-a • DissolvedP_1_animation.wmv: Surface total dissolved phosphorus • Detritus_1_animation.wmv: Surface detritus concentration (particulate organic carbon, excluding phytoplankton and zooplankton). • Zooplankton_1_animation.wmv: Surface zooplankton carbon concentration • DreissenidRation_1_animation.wmv: Rate of food assimilated by mussels, according to the product f_a F_A P in Equation 2, expressed as mg phytoplankton carbon per mg mussel biomass carbon per day × 100%. • DreissenidBiomass_1_animation.wmv: Simulated mussel biomass in mg ash-free-dry-mass m^-2
