See also Kishore Kumar et al. (2013) for a recent comparison between radar, satellite, and model results obtained during the first CAWSES tidal campaign in 2005.
Model results suggest that during early successional stages, or in areas that are frequently disturbed, larval colonization and rapid growth are more important than dominance achieved by extracoelenteric digestion or by growing over another coral in acquiring and maintaining possession of reef substrate.
The model results indicate that during high discharge years, only a very limited region of TZ-HB would retain sufficiently high salinities in summer to provide suitable oyster habitat.
Daily ice sheet runoff data are from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) regional atmospheric climate model RACMO2.3 [ van Meijgaard et al., 2008; Sasgen et al., 2012; Lenaerts et al., 2013; van Angelen et al., 2013; Van As et al., 2014], which provides the most current model results, including coverage during 2009 through 2013.
Ice sheet model results from different time periods during the Weichselian were extracted for five regions and presented in rose diagrams.
Figure 4 compares the observed monthly median foF2 and IRI model results for four seasonal periods during high solar flux and magnetically quiet times.
We compare model results to physical observations made during well-controlled analogue and molten basalt experiments, and to analytical theory when available.
The comparison between the foF2 variations observed at PAL and SJC with the IRI-2007 model results shows a fairly good agreement during all the seasons.
Given the small variation in the forcing conditions, model results for February 2004 show little variation during the simulated period.
Here the model results largely overestimate the calculated hmF2 during the daytime, except for the month of July, where disparities are somewhat large around postsunset hours.
