The approach is a bit like a filled string shopping bag: in spots near heavy groceries like melons, the mesh is stretched out; in spots with lighter items like a bag of [...] important aspects.” Gößling now hopes to more accurately model them with the help of unstructured grids. Nearly as fast as classical models After several years of development, AWI climate modellers seem to have
copepod species* that dominate zooplankton in Arctic waters to carbon dioxide concentrations which are nearly ten times higher than those today. “We started our tests with the toughest living conditions. In [...] next research questions are, therefore: What do copepods eat if their favourite food, diatoms, has nearly vanished already when the animals wake up from their winter dormancy? Can they also live on significantly
