Description

This dataset contains selected output from the hindcast simulation (1948 to 2007) of the Community Earth System Model (CESM) Biogeochemical Elemental Cycle (BEC) for the Southern Ocean. These data were utilized in Lovenduski et al. (2013) to investigate multi-decadal trends in advection, mixing, and sea-air flux of natural carbon dioxide (CO2). 60 yearly output files (1948 to 2007) are available by pressing the "Get Data" button. The files are available to download individually (54 GB total) or as a .tar.gz compressed file containing all 60 files (32 GB).

Methods & Sampling

The hindcast output was generated with version 1.0 of the Community Earth System Model (CESM). The CESM is freely available at the CESM website (http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/).

Data Processing Description

Details of the model configuration, validation, simulations, and statistical analyses are available in the supplementary document cesm_aux_submitted.pdf for Lovenduski et al. 2013.
