Ocean Biological Carbon Pump Model Output

This dataset provides output from the biological pump model presented in the following paper: Nowicki, M., DeVries, T., &amp; Siegel, D. A. (2022). Quantifying the carbon export and sequestration pathways of the ocean's biological carbon pump. <em>Global Biogeochemical Cycles</em>. The dataset provides mean values and their associated uncertainties (represented by the 25^th and 75^th percentiles) from the biological pump model ensemble presented in the above referenced paper. These include the model state variables and their associated data constraints as listed in Supplementary Table S1 and shown in Figures 3 and 4, as well as the model inputs listed in Table 1 and show in Figure 2. The dataset also includes maps of the total modeled carbon export and sequestration, shown in Figure 6, as well as maps of carbon export by each biological pump pathway, shown in Figure S3, maps of the contribution of each pathway to the total export, shown in Figure 7. Global three dimensional fields of the modeled total respiration rate, respiration rate of POC, DOC, and zooplankton are also included. Also provided is a MATLAB script with examples for creating some of these figures. The script loads in the dataset and extracts the relevant variables to creates maps of the modeled total phytoplankton biomass, as well as Figures 6 and 7 from the above referenced paper. If using this dataset, please cite the original publication of Nowicki et al. (2022).
