Description

The uploaded file contains three separate Python scripts aimed at modeling the sinking velocity of natural Trichodesmium colonies loaded with dust particles. 

  • Two scripts have been developed to calculate the dust influencing factor (K), and one script is dedicated to calculating the sinking velocity of particle-free Trichodesmium colonies (v0). 
  • All Python scripts are available on GitHub (https://github.com/Zhanzhu1110/Trichobuoyancy.git) and can be processed using the "Codespaces" function on GitHub. 
  • The file 'K given values' is a specialized script designed to simulate the dust factor (K), assuming seawater and dust densities of 1028 kg/m3 and 2500 kg/m3, respectively, with a colony radius of 1 mm.
