As ecosystem and water quality models are becoming more frequently used for operational forecasts and scenario-based management decisions, it is important to understand the relative strengths and limitations of existing models of varying complexity. To this end, simulations of the Chesapeake Bay from eight threedimensional coupled hydrodynamic-oxygen models have been statistically compared to each other and to two years of historical monitoring data. Results show that although models have difficulty resolving the variables typically thought to be the main drivers of dissolved oxygen variability (stratification, nutrients, and chlorophyll), all eight models have significant skill in reproducing the mean and seasonal …

We measured Surface Brightness FluctuaIons (SBF) in three galaxies, ESO137-G006, NGC 3309, and NGC 5128, using the GeMS MulI-Conjugate AdapIve OpIcs (MCAO) system on the Gemini South telescope. ESO137-G006 is located in the Norma Cluster, NGC 3309 is located in the Hydra Cluster, while NGC 5128, also known as Centaurus A, is a nearby galaxy with numerous other distance measurements, including Cepheids. These galaxies were observed as a path finder to establish the SBF technique using the MCAO system. The J and Ks-band images taken with MCAO were astrometrically corrected and combined using the THELI so_ware.1 This method allowed us …
