Influences of river discharge on biological production in the inner shelf: A coupled biological and physical model of the Louisiana- Texas Shelf

摘要

A coupled biological and physical model was applied to study the influence of river discharge on biological variability on the Louisiana-Texas (LATEX) continental shelf. The physical part included a primitive-equation turbulent closure model, and the biological part was a simple phytoplankton (p), zooplankton (z), and nutrient (N) model.
