Species biomasses, water temperature, salinity and biodiversity indices in Apalachicola Bay from 2000-01-01 to 2049-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0277216)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-05-22T00:00:00.000+00:00
A coupled Delft3D hydrodynamic and Ecopath with Ecosim and Ecospace (EwE) food web modeling approach was used to demonstrate the range of temporal and spatial changes in water temperature, salinity, fisheries species populations and the broader estuarine food web of Apalachicola Bay, FL. The models simulated observed conditions from 2000 to 2019 and future changes in response to scenarios of low and high river flow and sea level rise up until 2049. Model outputs include ASCII grid files of water temperature, salinity, and species biomasses, and csv files of species biodiversity indices at monthly time steps for the years 2000-2019 and the year 2049. Temperature and salinity files are labeled with year and month and species biomass and biodiversity files are labeled by monthly timestep (years 2000-2019 = timesteps 1-240, year 2049 = timesteps 589-600).
