Abstract

We conducted 1000 Atlantis simulations, using permutated diet matrices created by drawing from a beta distribution that represented uncertainty in predator diet. We also employed a statistical emulator which simulates the production of many more Atlantis runs than could be achieved through numerical simulation. This dataset includes 3 products: statistical emulator output, diet matrices, and Atlantis simulations. These are each contained in their own zip file.

Purpose

These are data from an evaluation of the uncertainty surrounding previous estimates made of the ecosystem impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We tested the impact of uncertainty on the diet matrix.
