Open ocean methane model output

This NetCDF file accompanies the manuscript “Phosphate scarcity governs methane production in the global open ocean”, by S. Wang and T. Weber. It contains the global open-ocean distribution of methane as a function of time, predicted by a model in which methane equilibrates with atmosphere, oxidizes in the water column, and is produced in the surface ocean due to degradation of the organic compound methylphosphonate (modeled as a function of PO4 scarcity). The README file describes the contents of the NetCDF, including grid structure and model fields.
