(2014) Modeling dispersal and connectivity of broadcast spawning corals at the global scale Global Ecology and Biogeography, 23(1), 1-11 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/geb.12101 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This data set comprises 2 parts: ----------------------------- (1) CONNECTIVITY MODEL OUTPUT: ----------------------------- 12397 x 12397 data matrices giving the number of particles released from each habitat cell (row = outgoing) which 'settle' within another habitat cell (column = incoming). The number of particles released from each cell that settle within that same cell therefore fall along the matrix diagonal (row no. == column no.). These data are used to build the 'connectivity matrix' (Figs 2 and 3). The matrices are provided as (a) 1 matrix summed over the whole model period (.txt file, as Fig. 2) and (b) 93 monthly matrices corresponding to month of particle *release* (.mat files, not presented in the manuscript). ----------------- (2) HABITAT CELLS: ----------------- ArcGIS shapefile of the 12397 habitat cells used to define particle release and settlement in the model. The attribute 'PolyNo' corresponds to the row/column number of the habitat cell in the connectivity matrix (1). Note the area of each polygon varies depending on: a) its position in relation to the land mask in the HYCOM reanalysis data: - The polygons were created square at 1/6 degree sq. then cropped to the land mask. The smallest is therefore 1/4 of an orginal cell at 1/12 x 1/12 degree and the largest is 1/6 x 1/6 degree. b) its latitude: - 1 degree equals ~ 111 x 111 km at the equator and decreases zonally (E-W) to ~ 0 x 111 km at the poles. Polygons at lower latitudes are therefore larger than equivalent ones at higher latitudes. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Additional information may be available on request: (a) Raw model output: gives the source and arrival cell of each succesfully settled particle, plus the dates of release and settlement (e.g. can be used to calculate transport times between reefs) (b) Particle trajectories: coordinates of each particle at daily time-steps, plus final particle status ('settled' or 'dead') Please note that these data are very large. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The open source code used to run the connectivity model is available at: https://github.com/beatrixparis/connectivity-modeling-system The u and v velocities used in the particle tracking simulations were obtained from experiment 19.1 (now superseded) of the global 1/12 degree HYCOM reanalysis available from: https://www.hycom.org/data/glbu0pt08/expt-19pt1 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
