Some months ago I began to work on developing a Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) 800m resolution model for the Icelandic Seas. This has led me to collaborate with people from the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research Bergen. So I’m writing this post at a very Xmas decorated airport on my way home. After many months of gathering data from many diverse sources and preparing them for the model, this week we finally started to make some runs. Though the model is not working yet, is very exiting to know that soon we could have results. This is my first attempt as a modeler and I’m very excited about these first results. There are so many things that could be done with them. One of it, is to later downscale the model to the Icelandic fiords in which aquaculture is allowed, to be able to estimate water quality. But there is so much more! Like larvae drift or the study of ocean currents dynamics. Hence, we are adding Kristinn Gudnason and Andreas Macradnder to the IceROMS team. Let’s work step by step and fingers crossed!
