MEDUSA is a marine biogeochemistry model of the ocean’s carbon and nutrient cycles. It has been developed across a series of UK National Capability programmes.

MEDUSA is typically run in high-resolution configurations for forced-ocean hindcasts (observation-based recent past) and for future projections. It is the marine biogeochemistry component of the UK’s Earth System Model, UKESM, and participated in CMIPs 6 7 (the latter ongoing).

Aim

To model what matters most for today’s marine research and policy questions: from the coast to the open ocean, from the ocean’s surface to the deep sea, and from physics to plankton to fish to people.
