Synthesis and Modeling Project Results

Data Directory

The collection of data sets and model results included in this report, reflects the main objective of the U.S. JGOFS Synthesis and Modeling Project (SMP), which was to synthesize knowledge gained from the U.S. JGOFS and related studies into models that reflected our understanding of the ocean carbon cycle and its associated uncertainties.

Most data files included in this report are either plain ASCII text files (either TSV TAB-separated, CSV comma-separated or space-separated values) or netCDF (network Common Data Form).
