Model Data for "Impact of Submesoscale Vertical Advection on the Primary Productivity in the Southern East China Sea"

A Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Detritus (NPZD) model depicting the marine ecological dynamics was coupled with the physical model based on the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) in the manuscipt “Impact of Submesoscale Vertical Advection on the Primary Productivity in the Southern East China Sea”. The daily-averaged outputs in August 2013 from the High Resolution Model (HRM) run and Low Resolution Model (LRM) have been uploaded to the repository. The main ecological state variables are the phytoplankton concentration in unit of mg Chl/m3 (variable pp1 in mat file), the zooplankton concentration in unit of m mol N/m3 (variable zp1 in mat file), the organic detritus concentration in unit of m mol N/m3 (variable og1 in mat file), the dissolved nitrate concentration in unit of m mol N/m3 (variable nu1 in mat file), the dissolved phosphate concentration in unit of m mol P/m3 (variable nu2 in mat file). It is noted that the original HRM data has been interpolated onto the gridded dataset with low resolution to compress the data size.
