<p>Xu Chen: The 2nd Generation of FVCOM Simulation for Apalachicola
Bay</p>
<div>
<div>Description: The fundamental motivation of this study is
related to the ecosystem in Apalachicola Bay which has
collapsed in recent years. It has a very bad influence on the
fishery, oyster industry, related commercial, and recreational
industries. To diagnose and restore the ecosystem in
Apalachicola Bay, the ABSI project is proposed to gain insight
into the problem. One important goal of ABSI is to configure a
hydrodynamic model for the lower Apalachicola River,
Apalachicola Bay and the surrounding coastal and inner shelf
regions. Because Dmitry and Steve have configured one
coarse-resolution model (100m) using FVCOM ten years ago, this
model is considered as the 2nd generation of FVCOM simulation
for Apalachicola Bay. Results of the simulation will be briefly
presented in this talk.</div>

<p>Dmitry Dukhovskoy: Development of the CSOMIO coupled
ocean-oil-sediment-biology model</p>
<p>Description: This talk will present a coupled 3D
ocean-oil-biology-sediment modeling system developed by the
Consortium for Simulation of Oil Microbial Interactions in the
Ocean (CSOMIO) project. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
12pt;"> Central to CSOMIO’s coupled modeling system is an oil
plume model coupled to the hydrodynamic model (Regional Ocean
Modeling System, ROMS). The oil plume model is based on a
Lagrangian approach that describes the oil plume dynamics
including advection and diffusion of individual Lagrangian
elements, each representing a cluster of oil droplets. The
chemical composition of oil is described in terms of three
classes of compounds: saturates, aromatics, and heavy oil
(resins and asphaltenes). The oil plume model simulates the rise
of oil droplets based on ambient ocean flow and density fields,
as well as the density and size of the oil droplets. The oil
model also includes surface evaporation and surface wind drift.
A novel component of the CSOMIO model is two-way
Lagrangian-Eulerian mapping of the oil characteristics. This
mapping is necessary for implementing interactions between the
ocean-oil module and the Eulerian sediment and biogeochemical
modules.</span></p>
<p>Renee Richardson: <i>The NOAA SeaGrant Knauss Fellowship: My
Experience and How You Can Apply!</i><br>
</p>
<p>Description - In February 2021, I began my NOAA SeaGrant John A.
Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship with my host office, NOAA Weather
Program Office (WPO). For the past 6 months, I have gained policy
and program management experience working in the Weather
Observations Program and the Disaster Related Appropriation
Supplemental (DRAS) Program. In this talk, I will cover the Knauss
fellowship application process, placement process, my experiences,
and the upcoming notice for applying to the 2023 Knauss Fellow
class. </p>
