Atmospheric N transport using The DEHM model

• Calculations of monthly depositions of different N-fractions to 13 areas used in the BALTSEM model with a resolution of 50 km x 50 km (1991-2006)

• The depositions will be available in the NEST system

• Depositions from 10 different sources:

Modelling loads of water and nutrients

• Detailed, dynamic process modelling of retention in surface water.

• Models to calculate loss of nutrients with high resolution.

• Combining detailed production data with a catalog of means to reduce losses of nutrients, inclusive costs

• Scenarios: Status quo vs. Implementation of WFD requirements and climate changes

BALTSEM model struktur• 13 sub-basins: Northern Kattegat, Central Kattegat,

southern Kattegat,   Samsø Belt, Fehman Belt, Øresund, Arkona Basin, Bornholm Basin, Baltic Proper, Gulf of Riga, Gulf of Finland, Bothnian Sea, Bothnian bay.

• Coupling Physical and

biogeochemical Process: 17 state variables (14 in Pelagic layer

and 3 in sediment): nutrients (7), phytoplankton (3), zooplankton (1), detritus (3), oxygen, salinity and temperature

• Forcing functions: Temperature, wind, current

velocities, solar radiation, nutrients and etc.

• Spatiotemporal dynamic: seasonal (monthly), vertical and

horizontal distribution of species

Maintenance and opdating GIS data Objective: • improve and update the

quality of existing GIS data in the NEST system

• coordinate model interfaces with GIS data

• Construct administrative GIS structures

• Couple models and GIS into a dynamic solution

• collect GIS data from The Baltic Sea Ecoregion

• develop new areas for economic data and presentation of results in NEST

modeldatabase

What exact steps should be taken to aid the implementation?

• Science-based support system• Update the databasis (1997-1993 – now)• Improve models (coast vs. open sea, dynamic

modelling, Danish Straits)• Link models• Develop cost minimization models• Open source philosophy• Data, models and manuals available to the

public

Conclusions

• The NEST philosophy will establish a science-based decision support system to improve the basis for political decisions

• NEST will link ecological and economic models

• Continued work in NEST will improve research, monitoring and management in the Baltic Sea Ecoregion

• All NEST work is done with end-users
