This repository contains the filtered Lagrangian particle trajectories associated with the pre-print submitted to Geophysical Research Letters titled "The Disproportionate Role of Ocean Topography on the Upwelling of Carbon in the Southern Ocean." These trajectories follow the 19,002 particles that last upwell across 1000 m in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the Southern Ocean. Included are their x, y, z positions and a variety of tracers recorded along their transit in 2-day intervals, as well as a few Eulerian mesh files that are pertinent to the study. The output is the result of a global ocean biogeochemical simulation with the Model for Prediction Across Scales with online Lagrangian particle tracking. Also included are python notebooks which showcase the analysis and visualization used to create the main figures and tables in the text of the manuscript.
