Abstract
This dataset includes model input, code, and output used in the publication Moriarty et al. (2017, Biogeosciences), which used a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment transport-biogeochemical model to investigate the roles of resuspension, diffusion and biogeochemical processes on oxygen dynamics on the Rhône River sub-aqueous delta, France. Model development for this project focused on coupling the sediment transport and water-column biogeochemistry modules in the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) by incorporating a seabed biogeochemistry module into the ROMS framework. As described in Moriarty et al. (2017, Biogeosciences), the coupled model can account for diffusion of nutrients across the seabed-water-column interface; storage of particulate organic matter and dissolved nutrients in the seabed; biogeochemical reactions in the seabed; and resuspension and redistribution of the organic matter and nutrients.
Description
These files are compressed versions of input files, model code, and output used for the associated publication in Biogeosciences (see above). Compressed files with the .gz file extension can be opened with Gzip GNU software (open source). Compressed files with the .tar file extension can be opened with Gzip Tar software (open source). Many of the input and output files use the NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) file format. These have "nc" as a file extension and can be read using a variety of open source tools: see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/ . For information about the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), its model code and input / output, see www.myroms.org.
