Product | Vertical particle flux model |
Description |
This is a model of the vertical particle flux, in which stratified predator-prey interactions affect the vertical particle flux. The result is discussed in a paper by Jackson and Burd (2002). The program is written in matlab. To run it, open matlab, go to the directory with the script, and invoke it by typing vertical_pred_prey. The parameters are set in the first part of the code, with descriptions of their units in the comments. You can change their values by editing the file. |
