Quick start

Info

Agate.jl is designed to interface with Oceananigans.jl and OceanBioME.jl. We thus recommend familiarizing yourself with their user interface.

Model setup

First, we construct our ecosystem model. Here, we use a default 2 phytoplankton, 2 zooplankton Agate.jl-NiPiZD ecosystem model.

bgc = Agate.Models.NiPiZD.construct()
using Agate.Introspection: tracer_names

# Inspect the required tracer names.
println(tracer_names(bgc))
[:N, :D, :P_1, :P_2, :Z_1, :Z_2]

The bundled NiPiZD family is assembled from the same component/process compiler used by direct ModelDefinition construction. Model with mixotrophy introduces defining a model directly from components, named processes, and a keyed parameter block.

Next, we define a light field using Oceananigans and wrap it with OceanBioME's prescribed-PAR interface. Here we use Agate's seasonal PAR helper at 10 m depth:

grid = BoxModelGrid()
clock = Clock(; time=zero(grid))
PAR = FunctionField{Center,Center,Center}(CyclicalPAR(-10), grid; clock)
light_attenuation = PrescribedPhotosyntheticallyActiveRadiation(PAR)

These two models are then combined using OceanBioME.jl

bgc_model = Biogeochemistry(bgc; light_attenuation=light_attenuation)

full_model = BoxModel(; grid, clock, biogeochemistry=bgc_model)

And finally simulated using Oceananigans.jl

set!(full_model; N=7.0, P_1=0.01, Z_1=0.01, P_2=0.1, Z_2=0.01, D=0.01)

simulation = Simulation(full_model; Δt=240minutes, stop_time=1095days)

filename = "quick_start.jld2"

simulation.output_writers[:fields] = JLD2Writer(
    full_model,
    full_model.fields;
    filename=filename,
    schedule=TimeInterval(1day),
    overwrite_existing=true,
)

run!(simulation)

Plotting

tracer_syms = tracer_names(bgc)

# Extract data for plotting
timeseries = (;
    (s => FieldTimeSeries(filename, string(s))[1, 1, 1, :] for s in tracer_syms)...
)

# Create a figure
times = FieldTimeSeries(filename, string(first(tracer_syms))).times

fig = Figure(; size=(1200, 800), fontsize=24)

axs = []
for (idx, sym) in enumerate(tracer_syms)
    ax = Axis(
        fig[floor(Int, (idx - 1) / 2), Int((idx - 1) % 2)];
        ylabel=string(sym),
        xlabel="Days",
        title="$(sym) concentration (mmol N / m³)",
    )
    push!(axs, ax)
    lines!(ax, times / day, getproperty(timeseries, sym); linewidth=3)
end
