A sensitivity analysis of the impact of rain on regional and global sea-air fluxes of CO2 (dataset)

Directories containing the results from several different runs of the FluxEngine software (see Shutler et al 2015 http://www.oceanflux-ghg.org). These directories are named according o the parameterisation used to derive the results within. 'SOCAT' or 'takahashi' refers to the source of pCO2 climatology used in the software. 'Nonlinear raink' or 'raink' refer to the parameterisation used for estimating rain enhancement of gas transfer velocity (Harrison et al 2012 & Ho et al. 2004 respectively). 'wetdep' and 'wet deposition' refer to the direct deposition of carbon to the surface ocean by rain. 'reference' data sets do not include the effects of rain. Within the directories, results are in netCDF files within sub-directories for year and month. Net Fluxes and summary statistics have been calculated and are provided as text files. The names are again according to the parameterisation used to derive them.
