Description

This dataset, archived in Output_simulations.tar.gz, contains the output of model simulations from the study "Sensitivity of atmospheric carbon dioxide to dust iron solubility during the last glacial-interglacial cycle." It is structured to facilitate access to regional (Regional) and global (Global) simulation outputs and associated data derived from various sources of aeolian dust deposition fields. Organizational Structure: Global Simulations: Files in this directory are derived from global models and are organized by the source of the dust deposition fields used to force the cGENIE model. The sources include: Albani (Albani et al. (2014)) Lambert ( Lambert et al. (2015)) Takemura (Takemura et al. (2009)) Ohgaito (Ohgaito et al. (2018)) MIROC-ESM (Sueyoshi et al. (2013)) MRI-CGCM3 (Yukimoto et al. (2012)) Each sub-directory contains simulation outputs for different scaling factors (0.33, 0.67, 1.00, 2.00, 3.00) reflecting variations in dust iron solubility. Regional Simulations: These directories are structured similarly to the global simulations but are further organized by High Nutrient, Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) regions, which include: SA (South Atlantic) SP (South Pacific) NP (North Pacific) CP (Central East Pacific) NA (North Atlantic) Files in these sub-directories detail the outcomes from simulations that apply the same scaling factors as the global simulations but focused on specific oceanic regions noted for their unique biogeochemical characteristics. Included Files: fields_biogem_2d.nc: Contains two-dimensional fields of ocean and atmospheric properties, formatted as NetCDF. fields_biogem_3d.nc: Includes three-dimensional fields of ocean properties at multiple depth levels, provided as NetCDF. biogem_series_atm_pCO2.res: Outputs the atmospheric concentration of pCO2 from each simulation, crucial for understanding the impacts of varied iron solubility on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
