Description

These are model input/output files and data associated with the southern Ross Sea, Antarctica and presented in the associated publication. A compressed ZIP file (bg_medusars _archive.zip) is provided, which can be decompressed and opened with common software on unix/windows/mac (such as unzip, gzip, winzip, unarchiver, etc.). Along with input/output and data files, this README contains further file descriptions. The contained files are in simple text, space-delimited, and comma-separated formats. File contents are in formats compatible with the Marine Model Optimization Testbed (MarMOT), an advanced open-source 1D model analysis framework. For information about MarMOT, its source code and input/output, please see http://projects.noc.ac.uk/marmot/. For code relating to the Ross Sea version of the Model of Ecosystem Dynamics, nutrient Utilisation, Sequestration and Acidification (MEDUSA-RS) please contact the authors (dkauf42@gmail.com, marjy@vims.edu).
