Abstract
This program focuses on the formation process ofthe hypoxic zone which leads to the death and even extinction ofmany plant and fish species in the Gulf of Mexico by combiningdifferential equation model and cellular automaton and appliedmulti –scale method to simulate the formation of the hypoxiczone in the Gulf of Mexico. We first apply cellular method bydividing the map of Gulf of Mexico into 140 times 24 girding onExcel. Then we use difference equation to simulation theformation process. The interaction process among the girding isachieved by cellular automaton. The innovation in this project isthat we apply the multi-scale analysis method to simulate thepossible hypoxic zone with given geological data and numericalvalue of the five variables.
