NeBEM, a biogeochemistry and ecosystem model, is developed for the US Northeast, NeBEM performed better in simulating the carbonate system than empirical data-fitting methods, Nitrification and NCP are key drivers in the change of TA and DIC in outer Mass Bay.
3-D NeBEM captured the observed seasonal biogeochemical variability in Mass Bay, Model and observations consistently show the distinct mechanisms for TA and DIC variability in inner and outer bays, An inter-model comparison suggests the importance of building a biogeochemistry model under concept-proof ecosystem dynamics.
