 == Variables units in OCYCC. Six and Maier-Reimer, 1996. ==
+
+The main variables in the OCYCC (Carbon Cycle Model in ''i''LOVECLIM) are ODIC, OALK, OPO4, ONO3, OO2, ODOC, ODOCS, OC13, OC14, ODOC13, ODOCS13. Particles include CaCO3 (calcite) and TPP (Total Particle Production). Another two important secondary variables are phyto_m and zoo_m, i.e. phytoplankton and zooplankton, which are really important in the intermediate calculations of DIC and DOC, for example. All these variables must be checked in terms of units and consistency of equations, units and scale factors.
+
+=== Six and Maier-Reimer (1996) ===
+
+Six and Maier-Reimer (1996) describes some of the base equations of teh NPZD model used in OCYCC/''i''LOVECLIM. More precisely, most of the equations presented in this manuscript regarding phytoplankton and zooplankton dynamics can be found in '''mbiodyn.f'''.
+[[BR]]
+
+Table 1 in Six and Maier-Reimer (1996) shows parameter values for the phytoplankton and zooplankton equations which mostly coincide with the parameter definitions present in '''initmbiopar.f''' (if not with the same value, a very similar one).
