description | During the Mediterranean
Forecasting System Pilot Project a buoy was deployed in the Cretan Sea and for
the first time high-frequency physical and biogeochemical data were collected
over an extended period, providing a unique opportunity for the evaluation of
an ecosystem model. The model both tuned and validated in the Cretan Sea in the
past, is explored and quantified. In addition, the optimal parameter set is
determined while the effects of high-frequency forcing are explored. The model
results are satisfactory, especially at the upper part of the water column,
while the inability of 1-D modelling in fully exploring the hydrodynamics of
the particular area is depicted and further developments are suggested.<br><br>
