title: Chlorophyll production in the Amundsen Sea boosts heat flux to atmosphere and weakens heat flux to ice shelves -> Model outputs

description: This repository contains MITgcm outputs associated with the paper "Chlorophyll production in the Amundsen Sea boosts heat flux to atmosphere and weakens heat flux to ice shelves", submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans.  The outputs are presented in netCDF format and come from two simulations - GREEN, with chlorophyll, and BLUE, without chlorophyll affecting shortwave heating.
