Data package for seafloor climage change (SCC85)

Description

SCC85 package contains ensemble model average of CIMP5 historical and RCP8.5 climate change projections. Yearly mean were calculated from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory’s ESM 2G (GFDL-ESM-2G), Institut Pierre Simon Laplace’s CM6-MR (IPSL-CM5A-MR) and Max Planck Institute’s ESM-MR (MPI-ESM-MR) within the Coupled Models Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CIMP5), respectively. The ensemble averages of various model statistics were calculated among the three models for the periods of 1951 to 2000, 2041 to 2060 and 2081 to 2100. The export POC flux at seafloor was computed from the export production at 100 m (epc100) using the Martin curve (Martin et al., 1987) following the quation: Flux = epc100*(depth/export depth)^-0.858. The depth use etopo1 and export depth was set to 100 m. The aragonite (aragsat) and calcite staturation states (calcsat) were calculated as carbonate concentration (co3) divided by carbonate concentration in equilibrium with aragonite (co3satarg) and carbonate concentration in equlibrium with calcite (co3satcalc), respectively. It should be noted that the arag, co3satarg and aragsat were only available from GFDL-ESM-2G. All CIMP5 data were download from https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/esgf-llnl/. ...
