Description

This dataset aims to identify climate change impacts on spawning and settlement of a tropical herbivore, the sea-urchin, Tripneustes gratilla, along eastern Australia and into the Tasman Sea including Lord Howe Island. The dataset contains the trajectories of particles that represent T. gratilla larvae and their dispersal by ocean currents for each day of both a contemporary (2006-2015) and future 'business as usual' RCP 8.5 climate change scenario (2090-2100). T. gratilla larval dispersal under both climate scenarios is simulated using the Connectivity Modelling System (CMS). Particles are advected in CMS by 3D velocity fields produced with a state-of-the-art configuration of the Ocean Forecasting Model version 3 (OFAM3) that simulates the contemporary oceanic environment and projects it under an RCP8.5 climate change scenario. Spawning and settlement of particles within CMS are based on known biological traits of T. gratilla.

Notes

Each yearly Matlab trajectory file contains the following information:

dep - the daily depth recorded for each particle released during its trajectory.

distance - how far the particle has travelled (km) since it's release during its trajectory

exitcode - the CMS exit code allocated to each particle at the end of it's trajectory. Exit codes are explained in the CMS manual. https://github.com/beatrixparis/connectivity-modeling-system/blob/master/User-Guide-v2.pdf

ind_nan - the length of the particle's trajectory

lat - the daily latitude recorded for each particle during its trajectory

location - the number of each particle released

lon - the daily longitude recorded for each particle during its trajectory

p_dt_ref - release date for each particle recorded as a Matlab number

release_date - release date for each particle recorded as a Gregorian number

temp - the daily temperature recorded for each particle during its trajectory

The above variables are either recorded as a one-dimensional array or two-dimensional matrix. The one-dimensional array's length = number of partices released in a year. The two-dimensional matrix includes both the number of particles released in a year and the number of days the particle travelled.
