Particle trajectories - Freilich et al. "Diversity of growth rates maximizes phytoplankton productivity in an eddying ocean"

<p>The files provided here are the offline particle trajectories analyzed in Freilich, Flierl, and Mahadevan &ldquo;Diversity of growth rates maximizes phytoplankton productivity in an eddying ocean&rdquo;</p> <p>Both files are sqlite databases containing information about the same particle trajectories which are identified by the variable &ldquo;iD&rdquo;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ini_day135_z115_forward_biology.db contains nutrient concentration on particle trajectories. A different biological rate lambda is used for each variable denoted NX where X is 0-13. The rates are: 0.015,0.075,0.15,0.3,0.75,1.5,3,10,15,20,50,75,100,120</p> <p>The variable DOY is the model day.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ini_day135_z115_physical_forward.db contains the physical variables on particle trajectories. The variables are:</p> <p>x - east-west position</p> <p>y - north-south position</p> <p>z - vertical position</p> <p>u - east-west velocity</p> <p>v - north-south velocity</p> <p>w - vertical velocity</p> <p>vorticity - vertical component of relative vorticity</p>
