The Lagrangian Ensemble metamodel for simulating plankton ecosystems

This case study documents the virtual ecosystem used by Woods, Perilli and Barkmann (2005; hereafter WPB); to investigate the stability of simulations created by the Lagrangian Ensemble metamodel. The Azores virtual ecosystem was created and analysed on the Virtual Ecology Workbench (VEW) which is described briefly in the Appendix.
