Dr. Payal Parekh has compiled the open ocean iron observations available in the published literature to January 2005. The compilation can be downloaded as an Excel file
The data are mapped in Parekh, P., M.J. Follows, and E.A. Boyle (2005) .
We thank the many scientists who obtained and published the original data and we are grateful for NSF support.
Here are some slides from introductory lectures on The Ocean Carbon Cycle and Does Atmospheric Dust Transport Control the Carbon Cycle?.
A short presentation about modeling marine ecosystems with a focus on phytoplankton abundance and community structure.
Here is a brief presentation on aspects of ocean nutrient transports given at the ASLO annual meeting, June 2005
OCMIP2 biotic pre-industrial equilibrium spin up from 2.8 degree resolution config of MIT model.
Coarse Resolution Model: 30 Initialized Functional Types of Phytoplankton. Animated GIFs of the annual cycle of surface phytoplankton abundance (as phosphorus concentration) from an ocean model (MITgcm, 2.8 degree resolution global configuration): As total phytoplankton (about 400kB) and broken down into functional groups; Fast loop and (about 5MB) Slow Loop (about 5MB).
Medium Resolution Model: 78 Initialized Functional Types of Phytoplankton. Animated GIFs of the annual cycle of phytoplankton abundance (0-50m) driven by 1.0 degree resolution ECCO-GODAE ocean circulation state estimate ):
Annual cycle, all initialized phytoplankton functional types. (~5MB).
Annual cycle, 16 most abundant phytoplankton functional types (~3.5MB).
