This document provides step-by-step guidelines to make simulations of
deep-ocean CO2 sequestration according to standard protocols from
OCMIP-2 and GOSAC. Simulations are made abiotically without CaCO3
sediments. Thus tracers are carried only as DIC. Each model run carries ten tracers, thereby simultaneously simulating the control,
"permanent sequestration", the anthropogenic invasion of CO2, and
injection at 7 different sites.
In GOSAC's REQUIRED Standard scenario, atmospheric pCO2 is prescribed
and CO2 is injected at 1500 m (Run C1500). An analogous
simulation is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED where injection occurs instead at
3000 m (Run C3000). Additionally, we include two OPTIONAL
simulations: (1) an analogous run with injection at 800 m (Run
C800) and (2) an Emissions case where fossil emissions to the
atmosphere are prescribed and injection is made at 1500 m (Run
E1500).
