Seasonal variability of phytoplankton following extreme aerosol events in the western subarctic Pacific

The dataset describes the phytoplankton responses to the extreme aerosol events in the western Subarctic Pacific. Argo_2903210.mat is BGC-Argo(2903210) observation. Relative_change_AI_CHL_4day.mat is the change in satellite observed (a-d) AI and (e-h) CHL during the period of extreme aerosol events relative to corresponding climatology. Ocean_avg_V0.tar.gz is modeled result with climatological atmospheric deposition data during the period from 2012 to 2022. Ocean_avg_V1-12.tar.gz are the results of 12 sensitivity experiments. In the experiments, the aerosol deposited bioavailable iron (BFe) flux was increased by 0.2 nM/m2/day, corresponding to the atmospheric deposited Fe flux during the period from 14th to 16th in different months. Sensitivity_Exp_changes_flux_event.mat is the 1-year chlorophyll-a concentration result of sensitivity experiments, which was conducted: changing the BFe deposition flux from 0.1 nM/m2/day to 0.6 nM/m2/day during the 3-day period in June. Sensitivity_Exp_changes_days_event.mat is the 1-year chlorophyll-a concentration result of sensitivity experiments, which was conducted: changing the duration days from 1 day to 6 days in June with a constant total BFe deposition flux of 0.6 nM/m2.
