Synthesizing the Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coral Reef Ecosystem Goods and Services for Future Vulnerability Assessments using an Atlantis Ecosystem Model from 2020-01-01 to 2020-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0300557)

The files described here are the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) Atlantis Ecosystem model input files used in for testing CMIP6 climate scenarios developed by main Hawaiian Islands ROMS. These input files were used to run forecast simulations under three different CMIP6 climate change scenarios: low-emission (SSP1-2.6), moderate-emission (SSP2-4.5), and high-emission (SSP3-7.0). Files included are parameter (.prm), initial conditions (.nc), and land-based source pollutants (LBSP) forcing files. The parameter files include a run file, biological parameters, forcing parameters (list climate and pollution forcing files), harvest parameters (fishing mortality), and physics parameters. The LBSP forcing files are time series files representing spatial deposition of nutrients and sediments from land to the nearshore regions covered by Hawaii Atlantis. In recalibrating the current model based on updated climate forcing files (ROMS projections), the parameter and initial conditions files have been adjusted since initial model development. The ROMS projections used to force Hawaii Atlantis are not included in this data set, as they are from a different project. Hawaii Atlantis was initially developed at PIFSC and further details regarding the model, as well as outputs of a model run based on older inputs, are hosted as InPort catalog item 55245. The LBSP forcing files hosted here were developed based on Ocean Tipping Points project data as part of initial model development.
