Extended Data Table 1 Model–observations statistical assessment

From: Authigenic mineral phases as a driver of the upper-ocean iron cycle

  1. Summary statistics for dissolved and particulate Fe across the PISCES-Quota-Fe and PISCES-Quota models for full depth and the upper 200 m using data compiled from the GEOTRACES IDP2021. We report the number of observations, model and observation mean (all in nM), bias and the slope and correlation coefficient (R) for log-transformed analysis. In all cases, PISCES-Quota-Fe has a lower bias, better correlation and shows a slope closer to 1.0, indicating improved performance. Persistent biases in PFe reflect missing extra lithogenic PFe sources.
