Publication information for the manuscript: ''Microstructure and composition of marine aggregates as co-determinants for vertical particulate organic carbon transfer in the global ocean'' by Joeran Maerz, Katharina D. Six, Irene Stemmler, Soeren Ahmerkamp, and Tatiana Ilyina submitted to Biogeosciences, 2019 The model branch: https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/mpiom/repository/show/branches/mpiom-hamocc-jm-M4AGO with revision numbers: 4981 for the standard run 5003 for the M4AGO run and the sensitivity runs were used to run the model. The model code can be provided on demand. The job scripts are provided in ./01-submission-initial/job-scripts. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE SOLUTION ! ! TO MAKE SECONDARY DATA AVAILABLE VIA THE DKRZ. ! ! In urgency, contact the first author of the ! ! publication: joeran.maerz@mpimet.mpg.de ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We provide the main primary data with the present exception of the full monthly mean values of POC and opal fluxes, necessary to compare the model data to the sediment trap data gathered by Mouw et al. 2016. The latter is partially provided in 01-submission-initial/analysis_and_data/Mouw_2016, see summary.txt for reference and more information. The model output for the monthly mean flux is part of the data that we will provide as secondary data via the DKRZ (see above). With the friendly consent of Thomas Weber (t.weber@rochester.edu), we provide the mask and transfer efficiency deduced by Weber et al. 2016: Deep ocean nutrients imply large latitudinal variation in particle transfer efficiency. PNAS, 113, 8606-8611 via: 01-submission-initial/analysis_and_data/Weber-maps-combined-GR15-extended.nc which is extended for i) our model grid ('GR15') and ii) applying further masks for the Pacific and smaller adjacent seas (Mediterranean & Black Sea, Hudson Bay). The analysis and plotting of the figures is carried out via the main shell script 'make_plots.sh' in 01-submission-initial/analysis_and_data (set PLOT_*=1). The primary data is stored in 01-submission-initial/analysis_and_data/primary_data The python files require provision of ncl- and cdo- bindings (and some colormap files). We didn't keep track of the versions, but the analysis were typically carried out on mistral with * python/2.7.12 * ncl/6.4.0-gccsys * cdo/1.9.7-magicsxx-gcc64 in some cases, * ncl/6.5.0-gccsys * cdo/1.9.5-magicsxx-gcc64 see 'make_plots.sh'. In particular, the plotting scripts are: - manuscript_seasonal_Teff.py (Fig. C1) - manuscript_PO4-surf-maps.py (Fig. 13e-g) - manuscript_sensitivity.py (Fig. 15) - manuscript_RLS_rel_contributions.py (Fig. 9) - manuscript_taylor.py (Fig. 13a-d) - manuscript_model_versus_observations.py (Fig. 12) - manuscript_CO2_cumulative.py (Fig. 14) - manuscript_expsi-b.py (Fig. 11) - manuscript_intpp_pratio.py (Fig. 4 + 5) - manuscript_Teff_plot.py (Fig. 8 + B1) - manuscript_aggprops_maps.py (Fig. 6 + A1) - manuscript_aggprops_transect.py (Fig. 7) - manuscript_rel-ws-contributions.py (Fig. 10) The ncl-colormap for the transfer efficiency pattern is provided as 01-submission-initial/analysis_and_data/Weber.rgb (the script path needs to be adjusted manually). In ./01-submission-initial/schematic-figures, we provide the drawn schematics: - fractal-theory_poly-dense+size.svg (Fig. 1) program: inkscape, exported to eps/pdf + latex - diatom-frustule (Fig. 2) program: inkscape, exported to eps/pdf + latex - agg-scheme-flow2.odg (-> agg-scheme-flow-num.eps; Fig. 3) program: libreoffice In ./01-submission-initial/manuscript, we provide: ./internal-review: the internal review prior to submission ./submission-01: the initially submitted manuscript to Biogeosciences
