Respiration patterns in the dark ocean

O2_utilization_rates.mat

Matlab data file containing the OUR data showed in Fig. 5. For each variable, the first dimension is for each of the 5000 Monte Carlo simulations, the second dimension is for each of the 10 regions, and the third dimension is for each of the defined isopycnals.
