Particle trajectories - Freilich et al. "Diversity of growth rates maximizes phytoplankton productivity in an eddying ocean"

The files provided here are the offline particle trajectories analyzed in Freilich, Flierl, and Mahadevan “Diversity of growth rates maximizes phytoplankton productivity in an eddying ocean” Both files are sqlite databases containing information about the same particle trajectories which are identified by the variable “iD” ini_day135_z115_forward_biology.db contains nutrient concentration on particle trajectories. A different biological rate lambda is used for each variable denoted NX where X is 0-13. The rates are: 0.015,0.075,0.15,0.3,0.75,1.5,3,10,15,20,50,75,100,120 The variable DOY is the model day. ini_day135_z115_physical_forward.db contains the physical variables on particle trajectories. The variables are: x - east-west position y - north-south position z - vertical position u - east-west velocity v - north-south velocity w - vertical velocity vorticity - vertical component of relative vorticity
