Climate-driven change to phytoplankton blooms across the global ocean - CMIP6 Phenology Outputs

Bloom phenology metrics calculated from CMIP6 chlos outputs archived. Models include 'CNRM-ESM2-1-LR', 'MPI-ESM1-2-LR', 'NorESM2-LM' and 'NorESM2-MM'. Metrics calculated using daily outputs resampled to 5 day means with the methods outlined in Thomalla et al. (2023) Nature Climate Change (doi: 10.1038/s41558-023-01768-4).
Data are organised along the dimensions of model, year, latitude and longitude.
Data include the Historical (1850-2014) and high emissions SSP5-8.5 (2015-2100) simulations.
Metrics include bloom initiation, bloom termination, bloom duration, bloom integrated chlorophyll-a, bloom mean chlorophyll-a, bloom maximum chlorophyll-a, bloom maximum date, number of bloom peaks and seasonal cycle reproducibility.
