An overview of our ongoing efforts on modeling the Black Sea general circulation and lower trophic level pelagic food web is presented. Using an eddy resolving ocean circulation model endowed with active thermodynamics and turbulence closure parameterization, a synthesis of the yearly mean and monthly varying: circulations driven by the climatological wind stress, air-sea thermohaline fluxes and lateral buoyancy fluxes is given first. The main features of the vertically resolved, three dimensional biochemical model involving interactions between the inorganic nitrogen (nitrate, ammonium), phytoplankton, herbivorous zooplankton and bacterial biomasses, detritus and dissolved organic nitrogen are then described. A simplified version (depth anti time) of the coupled physical-biochemical model without having the horizontal variabilities is applied to the central Black Sea conditions. Given a knowledge of physical forcing, solar radiation and subsurface nutrient source, the coupled model simulates main observed seasonal and vertical characteristic features such as formation of the Cold Intermediate Water mass, yearly evolution of the upper layer stratification, the annual cycle of phytoplankton production with the fall and spring blooms, the subsurface maximum layer ill summer, as well as realistic patterns of bacterial biomass and particulate and. dissolved organic materials.

Challenges in integrative approaches to modelling the marine ecosystems of the North Atlantic: Physics to fish and coasts to ocean Holt, Jason; Allen, J. Icarus; Anderson, Thomas R.; Brewin, Robert; Butenschoen, Momme; Harle, James; Huse, Geir; Lehodey, Patrick; Lindemann, Christian; Memery, Laurent; Salihoğlu, Barış; Senina, Inna; Yool, Andrew (2014-12-01) It has long been recognised that there are strong interactions and feedbacks between climate, upper ocean biogeochemistry and marine food webs, and also that food web structure and phytoplankton community distribution are important determinants of variability in carbon production and export from the euphotic zone. Numerical models provide a vital tool to explore these interactions, given their capability to investigate multiple connected components of the system and the sensitivity to multiple drivers, incl...
Quantification of the Synergistic Effects of Eutrophication, Apex Predator Pressure, and Internal Processes on the Black Sea Ecosystem Salihoğlu, Barış (2013-12-01) In the present study, a model of the lower-trophic pelagic food web of the Black Sea is considered in order to provide a quantitative understanding of the marked changes in the food web structure in response to changing top-down and bottom-up control mechanisms due to eutrophication, overfishing, and climatic changes. The simulations consider three particular parameters controlling the changes in the ecosystem structure due to these stressors; (i) the magnitude of the nitrate flux into the euphotic layer fr...
Comprehensive spectral and thermal characterization of oil shales Güven, Selin; Akın,Serhat; Hasçakır, Berna (Society of Petroleum Engineers; 2015-01-01) The heterogeneous nature of oil shale resources associated to the depositional environments, lithology, and organic content make the reserve estimation complex and unpredictable. However, comprehensive laboratory studies on organic rich shale samples collected from different regions can increase the understanding about the organic content of oil shales, interaction of shale with organic matter and injected fluid used during enhanced oil recovery method. This study investigates the characterization of eight ...
Nonlinear dynamics of the Black Sea ecosystem and its response to anthropogenic and climate variations Akoğlu, Ekin; Salihoğlu, Barış; Department of Marine Biology and Fisheries (2013) The main objective of this research is to i) provide a quantitative understanding of the changes in the Black Sea ecosystem between 1960 – 1999, ii) to identify its food web dynamics including the infamous anchovy – Mnemiopsis shift in 1989, and iii) utilizing this understanding to explore future progressions of the Black Sea ecosystem under predicted future physical and biogeochemical changes. For this purpose, three different but complementary approaches were used all of which were detailed under three di...
Simulations of the Black Sea pelagic ecosystem by 1-D, vertically resolved, physical-biochemical models Oguz, T; Ducklow, HW; Malanotte-Rizzoli, P; Murray, JW (Wiley, 1998-09-01) The present paper summarizes the results of several simulations of the central Black Sea pelagic food web using three different 1-D, physical-biochemical, water column process models. The most simplified, five-compartment version is used to explore the robust biological features of the ecosystem and the role of upper-layer physics on the evolution of the euphotic zone biological processes. The other models, introducing additional biological complexities, show how these biologically structured models become ...
