[MITgcm-support] introduction to the MITgcm biogeochemistry module

[Manfredi Manizza]

Hi Johnny,

what you can simply use straight away is the "dic" package that is  
based on six tracers or six (five + iron)
The model is very simplified and it does not compute NPP but NCP (net 
community production) with a simplified scheme that does not take into 
account the ecosystems dynamics but just light and nutrient availability.

I hope this helps.
