Long-term reorganization of ocean nutrient distribution
Abstract
Oceans rely on nutrients like nitrate and phosphate to support the growth of phytoplankton and marine productivity. Using nearly a century of global ocean data, this study shows that nutrients are changing in different ways depending on location. This entry contains scripts needed for data analysis presented in this manuscript, as well as the nutrient data files. The data analysis consists of four parts: (i) preprocessing, (ii) estimating long-term surface nutrient trends, (iii) estimating vertical trends and their significance, and (iv) analysis of CMIP6 data. The data consists of the pre-processed World Ocean Database observations.
