This data set includes the Biology/Ice/Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (BIOMAS) simulated monthly mean results for the Arctic Ocean planktonic ecosystem over the period 2004-2020. Also included is a movie that shows monthly variations of a few ecosystem components. BIOMAS is a coupled sea ice, ocean, and marine planktonic ecosystem model (Zhang et al., 2010, 2014) with a model domain over the northern hemisphere north of 49°North. The mean horizontal resolution for most of the Arctic Ocean is about 22 kilometers (km). This biophysical model is driven by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis forcing.
