Description
Context
PISCES, when run in high resolution configurations, produce excessive particulate materials at the bottom of the ocean in relatively isolated areas. These concentrations keep on increasing until eventually the model explodes. This occurs after long integration durations.
Analysis
This problem occurs when NO3 and O2 fall to 0. In that case, either DOC increases strongly and/or any remineralization of materials produce strongly negative concentrations which stop all sources and sinks in PISCES, except for sedimentation. As a consequence, particles continue to sink to the bottom of the ocean where they accumulate without being either remineralized or advected away (stagnant grid points).
Fix
Higher order reactions of organic matter degradation have to be considered in an implicit way. When NO3 and O2 fall to zero, remineralisation is still occuring based on non-modeled chemical species. This means that remineralisation is performed with no consumption of any modeled tracers.
