README

This repository contains data related to the publication "Phytoplankton Retention Mechanisms in Estuaries: A Case Study of the Elbe Estuary" available here

Its content is split into two parts - source code and model output.

  • The source code executed to run the model is found in "oceantracker". You can either execute them out of the directory directly (but some links might be broken) or install the python package (see install notes on github). To rerun the model run the file "oceantracker/experiments/22_12_08_retention_v25.py". To generate the plots used in the publication run "oceantracker/experiments/22_12_08_retention_plotting.ipynb". I do not own the copyright to the input data. The hydrodynamical input data can be requested from Johannes Pein (johannes.pein@hereon.de).

  • The model output used to generate the plots is compressed and split into smaller parts. You can put them all back together after download by running and recreate the plots as described above.

Feel free to reach out to me (Laurin Steidle at laurin.steidle@uni-hamburg.de) if you have trouble rerunning the model or Ross Vennell (ross.vennell@cawthron.org.nz) if you need help running the current version of oceantracker from github.
