A modeling investigation into the ecological role of mixotrophy in Karenia brevis blooms on the West Florida Shelf

The dataset includes outputs from the ROMS_RCA model for the years 2002 to 2003. In these outputs, the reference time for 'ocean_time' or 'time' is set to November 1, 2002; data before this date are excluded due to model spin-up, and irrelevant variables are excluded due to storage limit. The files in "Model_results.zip" contain state variables such as nutrient concentrations and phytoplankton biomass for the scenario with mixotrophy. Specifically, the biomass of K. brevis is recorded under "M_C," while "PHYT1" and "A_C" represent diatoms and Synechococcus. Additionally, 'DIAG3' and 'DIAG8' denote the ingestion rate and digestion rate of the prey cell in mgC/L/day. The model outputs are produced at six-hour intervals, with each NetCDF file representing one day's worth of data. Extracted data (algal biomass, nutrients, and process rates) for the surface layer, cross-shelf section, two stations, and coastal region analyses are stored in MATLAB (.MAT) files. Notably, the ingestion rate, IgC, in the MAT files can sometimes be renamed to a_Cgraz.本数据集包含2002至2003年的ROMS_RCA模型（ROMS_RCA model）输出结果。此类输出中，`ocean_time`（海洋时间）或`time`的参考时刻设定为2002年11月1日；因模型自旋调整阶段的需求，该日期之前的数据均被剔除；同时受存储容量限制，无关变量也被移除。"Model_results.zip"压缩包内的文件涵盖混合营养型（mixotrophy）情景下的状态变量，包括营养盐浓度与浮游植物生物量。其中，K. brevis的生物量以`M_C`字段存储，`PHYT1`与`A_C`分别对应硅藻（diatoms）和聚球藻（Synechococcus）。此外，`DIAG3`与`DIAG8`分别代表猎物细胞的摄食率与消化率，单位为mgC/L/天。该模型输出的时间步长为6小时，每个NetCDF（NetCDF）文件对应单日的模拟数据。 针对表层水体、跨陆架断面、两个观测站位以及近岸区域分析所提取的数据集（包含藻类生物量、营养盐与过程速率），均存储于MATLAB（MATLAB）格式的`.MAT`文件中。需特别说明的是，部分MAT文件中的摄食率`IgC`有时会被重命名为`a_Cgraz`。
