Advection on Larval Pollock Recruitment

This model investigates the environmental relationship between surface advection during the post-spawning period (pollock egg and larval stages) and pollock survival. OSCURS surface advection model is used to simulate drift. The model uses surface advection over a 90-day period to determine the "goodness" of the advective field for juvenile pollock. The model outputs index of pollock recruitment.
