J-SCOPE forecast results for the simulation beginning in April of 2013 are shown in the right panels. Each panel represents a two month average for the region. The regional climatology from Venegas et al, 2008 is provided on the left for reference, although it covers a slightly larger area than the modeled domain. The forecast projects that the surface Chlorophyll concentrations will be lower than the climatology for the Washington shelf in May and June of 2013 while the Oregon coast will be higher than the climatology for the region during that same time. The forecast projects that the surface Chlorophyll concentrations will be higher than the climatology for the months of July - August of 2013. The forecast projects that the surface Chlorophyll concentrations will be lower than the climatology for the entire region in September – December of 2013.
