Simulations of Oxygen Variability in the North Pacific (reported as three NetCDF files); refer to "Description" section for explanation of different exeriment conditions.

Description Three simulations were performed using a GCM based on the Hallberg Isopycnal Model and an offline advection/diffusion model for the tracer fields. In the first simulation, all sources of O2 variability are present. In two additional simulations, causes of O2/AOU variability are selectively removed, allowing us to isolate and characterize the contribution of individual processes to total O2 changes. read more
