Where do we think the currents would take scallop larvae produced by adult scallop in the groundfish closed areas

Where do all the larvae from the Nantucket Lightship Area (blue particles) go?

(03/22/00) this is a shortened ~440k test version of an animated gif made from the flc file

it's still needs some more work and will be modified as time allows

this simulation was originally developed and put on the web by Craig Lewis

of the Dartmouth Numerical Methods Laboratory

integrating information gained from an earlier phase of the GLOBEC program

If you like this animated gif, the more functional original can be obtained by first downloading the fli/flc player (~150k zipped)

from Rich Signell's website - http://crusty.er.usgs.gov/flc.html,
or elsewhere and installing it (best in it's own directory)

then download the last file in movie column (2.6MB)from the Craig Lewis website

or go to

http://www-nml.dartmouth.edu/~cvl/closed_areas/index.html

or

http://www-nml.dartmouth.edu/~cvl/closed_areas/closed.html

Best to put the fli or flc files in the same directory as the player

for ease of access at least when running the player within Win 95 or 98

Be forewarned, this is only a test, had it been a real simulation...

more complete versions are in the works

your feedback is appreciated
