Dataset: Noble gas global observations used in the ECCO noble gas model and simulations decomposed to isolate bubble-mediated gas exchange (Noble gas modeling project)

This dataset includes:
1) noble gas observations used in the ECCO noble gas model. They were collected globally at sea and were analyzed by mass spectrometry.
(2) model simulations decomposed to isolate bubble-mediated gas exchange.

Noble Gas Observations:
The observation data is provided in MATLAB format: noblegasDB.mat (download here) (size = 94 KB)
The variables are a MATLAB table ‘NGall’ and a list of original references ‘NGprojects’
The served data is provided in jgofs format with the columns slightly rearranged for database best practices.

Global Model Simulations:

The simulation file is provided in MATLAB format: ECCOv2_NobleGases.mat (download here) (size = 1 GB)

Noble gases and nitrogen were simulated in the Estimating the Circulation & Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) global ocean state estimate utilizing a matrix-free Newton–Krylov (MFNK) scheme to efficiently compute the periodic seasonal solutions for noble gas tracers.

Original simulations:
sim1 = diffusive gas exchange only
sim2 = diffusive gas exchange and bubble injection
sim3 = diffusive gas exchange and bubble exchange

DG = sim1
IG = sim2-sim1
EG = sim3-sim1

For each gas ‘G’ total gas concentration is calculated as Gsol(S,T) * (AG + BG + CG)

DG is results of the simulation with no bubbles, while IG and EG are the isolated contribution from bubble injection and bubble exchange, respectively.
