Numerical simulation of a winter algal bloom in western Patagonia

We include data considered in the article ’Dataset for the numerical simulation of a winter algal bloom in a channel of western Patagonia, Data in Brief, P. Mata and C. Medel, 2021 (submitted)'. 1) A record of Chlorophyll-a content (measured in [ug/L]) with a sampling rate of 1-hour at a depth of 2 m in the Puyuhuapi channel (44°35.30’S; 72°43.60’W). The data was collected from a fixed oceanographic and meteorological station (July 10-16, 2015). FILE: Chlorophyll_a_hourly_record.txt 2) A record of the daily average Chlorophyll-a content (measured in [ug/L] at a depth of 2 m in the Puyuhuapi channel (44°35.30’S; 72°43.60’W). FILE: Chlorophyll_a_daily_average.txt 3) Vertical profiles of underwater irradiance (measured in PAR) obtained in a sampling campaign (July, 10-16, 2015) in the Puyuhuapi channel. FILE: underwater_irradiance.txt 4) Several pictures appearing in the article. FILES: DataInBrief_1.eps, DataInBrief_2.eps, DataInBrief_3.eps, DataInBrief_4.eps, DataInBrief_5.eps 5) A Python script to fit polynomial functions to several data (Nutrient, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, and Detritus content). FILE: Poly_fitting_data.py This open-access data could be utilized to test and validate alternative numerical models. The aquaculture industry could use the data for making estimations of the primary production in the fjords’ area.

本数据集采用了发表于《数据简报（*Data in Brief*）》的论文《巴塔哥尼亚西部海峡冬季藻华数值模拟数据集》中的相关数据，作者为P. Mata与C. Medel，2021年（已投稿）。
1) 2015年7月10日至16日，于巴塔哥尼亚普耶韦华皮海峡（44°35.30’S；72°43.60’W）2米水深处，以1小时为采样间隔采集的叶绿素a浓度记录，测量单位为μg/L，数据来源于固定海洋气象观测站。文件名为*Chlorophyll_a_hourly_record.txt*。
2) 同一海域同水深的叶绿素a日平均浓度记录，测量单位为μg/L。文件名为*Chlorophyll_a_daily_average.txt*。
3) 2015年7月10日至16日在普耶韦华皮海峡开展的采样调查中获取的水下辐照度垂直剖面数据，测量参数为光合有效辐射（Photosynthetically Active Radiation, PAR）。文件名为*underwater_irradiance.txt*。
4) 论文中使用的多张配图，对应文件分别为*DataInBrief_1.eps*、*DataInBrief_2.eps*、*DataInBrief_3.eps*、*DataInBrief_4.eps*、*DataInBrief_5.eps*。
5) 用于对营养盐、浮游植物、浮游动物及碎屑含量数据进行多项式拟合的Python脚本，文件名为*Poly_fitting_data.py*。

本开放获取数据集可用于测试与验证替代数值模型，亦可供水产养殖业估算峡湾区域的初级生产力。
