Model Output for the Global Marine Chromium Cycle from Five Simulations

Model output data from five 3D simulations of the marine chromium cycle. The data includes total dissolved chromium concentration and dissolved Cr(III) concentration. It was produced by Frerk Pöppelmeier at the University of Bern for a 2021 Biogeosciences Discussions manuscript.

Use Cases

• Validate and calibrate marine biogeochemical models based on simulated chromium species concentrations.
• Analyze global-scale spatial patterns of chromium cycling in the ocean based on 3D model output.
• Study the speciation and distribution of chromium (Cr(III) vs. total dissolved Cr) in seawater based on model results.
• Compare the outputs of different simulation scenarios for the marine chromium cycle.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed manuscript published in Biogeosciences Discussions in 2021.
• Output includes two distinct 3D chemical variables: total dissolved Cr and dissolved Cr(III) concentration.
• Results are from five distinct simulations, allowing for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
