Description
Summary:The following is a summary of processed model output data from a series of HiLAT model runs. A description of the model runs and visualization of model output and analysis can be found in the accompanying manuscript. Gibson, G.A., Weijer, W., Jeffery, N. and Wang, S (2020) Relative impact of sea ice and temperature changes on Arctic marine production. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences. DOI: 10.1029/2019JG005343 The model outputs and accompanying research was supported by the National Science Foundation 173886 and by DOE | SC |Biological and Environmental Research (BER). There are 4 versions of most output file types, corresponding to the 4 experiments that were conducted. These experiments are: i) the baseline model simulation (Base); ii) a moderate ice reduction experiment (S1); iii) a dramatic ice reduction experiment (S2); and iv) an atmospheric warming scenario (RCP45). Each of the 4 experiments is described in detail in Gibson et al (2020). Many variables in the output files are regional averages where model regions are indicated by a number *note - for aesthetics, the numbering used in the model output files differs slightly from the numbering used in the accompanying manuscript. Bering Sea =1 Chukchi Sea =2 East Siberian Sea =3 Laptev Sea =4 Beaufort Sea =5 Barents Sea =6 Canadian =7 Eurasian Basins =8 Nordic Seas =9 Labrador Sea=10 Kara Sea =11 Grid gx1v6_polar_mask.10.12.18.nc This file is the original grid file used for all model runs with the addition of Arctic_Region and Antarctic_Polar_Front variables which indicates which grid cells are in the model regions described above. Forcing ncep_RCP45 ncep.t_10.T62.*.nc where * is 1948-2009 These files contain the modified atmospheric forcing used for the RCP45 model experiment. The unmodified NCEP forcing is freely publically available elsewhere to not duplicated here Ice Ice-Regional-Monthly-177-186-*.nc where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. These file contain the monthly averaged ice variables (ice area, ice algae production) for each model region for the last ten years of the model run. cice-monthly-177-186-*.nc where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. These file are the monthly averaged output filed from the cice model. Variables are averaged over each model analysis region. Ice_snow_depth_region_Avg-137-186-*.nc where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. These file contain the regionally averaged ice and snow depth for each analysis region. IceVol_Base-137-186.nc Contains ice variable file for the baseline model run. Model contains ice variables hi and aice for every grid cell of the model domain. Ice volume was computed as hi * Tarea (from grid file). Annual-SummerAvg-IceArea-177-186_*.nc Where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. Each of these files contains the annual average ice area averaged over Summer months (JuneAugust) for last 10 years of model run (200-2009) for each grid cell in the HiLAT model Ocean variables TempNitrate TEMP_NO-177-186.nc This file contains model estimates of temperature and nitrate for the baseline model run for model years 177-186 (2000-2009, the last en years of the model run) for the upper five model layers (500, 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 cm). CO2flux AnnAvgAllCflux*.nc Where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. Each of these files contains the annual average CO2 Flux for last 10 years of model run (200-2009) for each grid cell of the HiLAT model. CO2flux_region_avg-177-186-*.nc Where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. Each of these files contains the annual average CO2 Flux for last 10 years of model run (2000-2009) for each region of the HiLAT model. Ocean Production OceanProd_Year-147-156-*.nc OceanProd_Year-157-166-*.nc OceanProd_Year-167-176-*.nc OceanProd_Year-177-186-*.nc Where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. These file contain the annual average vertically integrated ocean phytoplankton production for each grid cell. Each file contains 10 model years is the sum of diatoms, diazotrophs, phaeocystis, and smaller phytoplankton. Region_production_by_phyto_group-diat_ps-137-186-*.nc Where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45. These file contain the annual average vertically integrated ocean phytoplankton production for each region. Each file contains group specific production for diatoms, diazotrophs, phaeocystis, and smaller phytoplankton. OceanProd_Daily-177-186-BASE.nc This file contains the daily average vertically integrated ocean phytoplankton production for each grid cell. The file contains 10 model years. Production is the sum of all four phytoplankton groups - diatoms, diazotrophs, phaeocystis, and smaller phytoplankton. PAR PAR-MonthyAvg-177-168-*.nc Photosynthetically Active Radiation in the ocean. Where * indicates model run - Base, S1, S2 or RCP45.
