Dataset: Numerical model output: phytoplankton, physics, nutrients

MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm) output.

This model and output were utilized in the following publications:

Dutkiewicz, S., A.E. Hickman, and O. Jahn, 2018.  Modelling ocean colour derived Chlorophyll-a. Biogeoscience, 15, 613-630, doi:10.5194/bg-15-613-2018.

Dutkiewicz, S., et al. "Capturing optically important constituents and properties in a marine biogeochemical and ecosystem model." (2015). doi:10.5194/bg-12-4447-2015

Model Access:
The MITgcm is available at http://mitgcm.org.  The version used for Dutkiewicz et al. 2015 can be downloaded as the .tar file  MITgcm_monod_size_radtrans9.tar (1.4 GB). 

Newer model code developed as part of this project is in testing phase, and is available at: git://gud.mit.edu/gud1

The investigators' older ecosystem/biogeochemical modules together with example setups ("verification") are available at: http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/darwin2/

Output files (netcdf):
