Dynamics of the euphotic zone in the Black Sea: The synergy of data from profiling floats, machine learning and numerical modeling

The datasets contain input data and data emulated by Neural networks (NN) used in the study 'Dynamics of the euphotic zone in the Black Sea: The synergy of data from profiling floats, machine learning and numerical modeling'

- NN2018_CMEMS_ARGO.tar.gz: archive contains Matlab binary files consisting of NN-derived BGC variables (Chlorophyll-a, Oxygen and backscatter at 700nm) along ARGO float paths in 2018 with vertical resolution taken from CMEMS (13 depth levels in the depth range studied here); NN was applied either on CMEMS physics ('C') or on ARGO physics ('A'); additionally, CMEMS BGC model data (Chlorophyll-a and Oxygen) along these paths are included; (filenames follow the names of floats given in Table 1: floatname_2018_NNARGOCMEMS.mat)

- NNalongARGO.tar.gz: archive contains Matlab binary files consisting of NN-derived BGC variables (Chlorophyll-a, Oxygen and backscatter at 700 nm) along ARGO float paths together with input ARGO data (time, latitude, longitude, salinity, temperature, sigma_T and BGC variables); all variables are mapped with 1m vertical resolution; depth range is [1m 150m] ; additionally, float ogs7 data include NO3, float hzg1 data does not contain Chlorophyll-a and backscatter at 700 nm; (filenames follow the names of floats given in Table 1: floatname_euph_1mRes_150mALLINCLNN.mat)

- NNReconBlackSea.tar.gz: archive contains Matlab binary files consisting of basin wide NN derived BGC variables (Chlorophyll-a, Oxygen and backscatter at 700nm) for the years 2015-19 and 2010/11 (weekly mean data); additionally CMEMS data (time, latitude, longitude, salinity, temperature, sea surface height) are provided for the photic zone; (filenames are reconNNCMEMS_2015_2019.mat and reconNNCMEMS_2010_2011.mat, respectively)
