Description
Summary:This output was produced by a simulation using a coupled ocean physics and marine biogeochemistry model. The physical ocean submodel was the Nucleus for European Modeling of the Ocean (NEMO) physical ocean model (Madec, 2014), run here in a global 1/12-degree resolution configuration (ORCA0083). The marine biogeochemistry submodel was the Model of Ecosystem Dynamics, nutrient Utilisation, Sequestration and Acidification (MEDUSA-2), an intermediate-complexity plankton ecosystem model (Yool et al., 2013). The horizontal resolution of this configuration of NEMO has non-uniform grid cells ranging 2 to 9 km in size (mean 7.5 km), with 75 vertical depth levels (31 levels between the surface and 200 m depth). Sea-ice is represented in the model by the Louvian‐la‐Neuve Ice Model (LIM2) (Fichefet, & Maqueda, M. a. M., 1997; Goosse & Fichefet, 1999). The configuration was forced at the air-sea interface with version 5.2 of the DRAKKAR forcing set (DFS) (Brodeau et al., 2010). DFS 5.2 is based on ERA40 ...
