  1. PON, particulate organic nitrogen. Modelled eddy properties in the southwestern Canada Basin in the 2010 M, Ice2.0 and Ice0.5 cases. See the detailed definition of each value in Methods. Seasonal averages during June, July and August (JJA) and during September, October and November (SON) were shown.
