Abstract: Regime shifts, consisting of decadal-scale oscillations in atmosphere–ocean systems, have recently been the focus of many marine ecosystem studies. These ‘regime shifts’ effect the sea surface temperature and mixed layer depth (MLD), changing the environment for marine ecosystems. We simulated changes in the marine ecosystem caused by interdecadal climate variability, using data from 1948 to 2002 to drive an ecosystem model, NEMURO, embedded in a global three-dimensional physical–biological coupled model, ‘3D-NEMURO’.
