Product	3-D basin-scale ecosystem model of the North Atlantic (Ivan Lima and Scott Doney) NetCDF file of model results view .cdh text file of NetCDF file header information
Description	Monthly climatological means from the last 3 years of a 12.5-year model simulation of the North Atlantic. Fields include: small phytoplankton chlorophyll concentration diatom chlorophyll concentration total chlorophyll concentration vertically integrated total monthly productivity dissolved inorganic nitrate dissolved ammonia dissolved inorganic silicate diatom N limitation factor diatom SiO3 limitation factor small phytoplankton nitrogen diatom nitrogen small phytoplankton carbon diatom carbon diatom Si nitrate uptake by small phytoplankton ammonia uptake by small phytoplankton carbon uptake by small phytoplankton small phytoplankton linear mortality small phytoplankton quadratic mortality nitrate uptake by diatoms ammonia uptake by diatoms silica uptake by diatoms carbon uptake by diatoms diatom linear mortality diatom quadratic mortality zooplankton nitrogen zooplankton carbon grazing on small phytoplankton grazing on diatoms zooplankton mortality/loss small/suspended detritus nitrogen large/sinking detritus nitrogen small/suspended detritus carbon large/sinking detritus carbon large/sinking detritus Si small/suspended detritus remineralization large/sinking detritus remineralization sinking flux of particulate organic nitrogen sinking flux of particulate organic carbon
