Model Combines Reduced Nutrients, Increased Temps and Freshwater Discharges for Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Scenarios

A team of NCCOS sponsored scientists have enhanced a hypoxia model with an unprecedented, multi-decadal oceanographic dataset to predict the combined effects of reduced nutrient loading, increased temperature, and freshwater discharge. The model study brings a new assessment of the contending effects of increased temperature and nutrient reductions on northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOMEX) hypoxia. … Continue reading Model Combines Reduced Nutrients, Increased Temps and Freshwater Discharges for Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Scenarios
