Bowhead and gray whale migration model description. Interim report No. 1
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5430677
Migration models for bowhead and gray whales in Alaskan waters were conceptualized, programmed, calibrated, and tested against observations. These verification tests do not supply irrefutable evidence that the model reproduces an average migratory pattern for either species. This is due in part to the high degree of interannual variability that normally occurs in Arctic and sub-Arctic environments. Furthermore, the model structure is flexible enough to allow changes to be readily implemented.
