Summary
A marine physical biogeochemical model simulation was performed with the model MOM-ERGOM for the year 2012 covering the Baltic Sea. Previously, MOM-ERGOM had been initialized for several decades without tagging until 1999 and, then, from 2000 to 2011 with tagging (see below; three years would have been sufficient). The model output has been validated with measurement data of the "IOW Baltic Monitoring and long-term data program" (https://www.io-warnemuende.de/iowdb.html IOW: Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde) and from the HELCOM database (http://ocean.ices.dk/helcom/Helcom.aspx HELCOM: Helsinki Commission). A publication is in preparation.
The model simulation was forced by coastDat2 COSMO-CLM data (doi:10.1594/WDCC/coastDat-2_COSMO-CLM). Atmospheric nitrogen deposition data of 16x16 km2 horizontal resolution were provided by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht within the EU BONUS SHEBA Project (Karl et al., 2019, doi:10.5194/acp-19-7019-2019).
Nitrogen from atmospheric deposition of nitrogen from shipping emissions and from all emission sectors has been tagged in the model simulation according to a method by Menésguen et al. (2006, doi: 10.4319/lo.2006.51.1_part_2.0591). Therefore, all nitrogen-containing model variables exist three times in the output: once as regular variables and once per tagged nitrogen source (total atmospheric and shipping-related).
The simulation was performed at the North-German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN, project id: mvk00054, zulassung.hlrn.de/kurzbeschreibungen/mvk00054.pdf). The model output data were processed and evaluated on servers provided by the project 'PROSO - Prozesse von Spurenstoffen in der Ostsee' (FKZ 03F0779A).

Model: The ocean physics were simulated with the Modular Ocean Model(MOM) version 5.1 (Griffies, Fundamentals of Ocean Climate Models, 2014, https://press.princeton.edu/titles/7797.html). The whole Baltic Sea was modeled with a horizontal resolution of 3 n.m. x 3 n.m. and 134 vertical layers. A dynamic ice model simulates ice cover thickness and extent. MOM has been used and validated in several Baltic Sea studies (Neumann et al., 2015, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmarsys.2015.08.001 Radtke et al., 2012, doi: https://doi.org/10.1029/2012JC008119 Schernewski et al., 2015, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2014.09.002).
The marine biogeochemical processes are simulated with the Ecological ReGional Ocean Model (ERGOM). It is coupled to MOM and shared the same model domain. ERGOM has been developed at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde and is still under active development (Neumann, 2000, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0924-7963(00)00030-0 Neumann et al., 2002, doi: https://doi.org/10.1029/2001GB001450 Kuznetsov and Neumann, 2013, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmarsys.2012.10.011 Radtke et al., 2013, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmarsys.2012.07.010 Neumann et al., 2015).
Description
There are not gaps in the spatial and temporal coverage. Land grid cells are indicated by missing values (-1.e+20f).

All prognostic biogeochemical model variables and a few relevant physical model variables are provided. Each nitrogen-containing prognostic variable has two counterparts with the suffixes "_atmos_tot_N" and "_atmos_ship_N" indicating the total atmosheric and shipping-related nitrogen, respectively, in this variable.
Description
In the used ERGOM version, the biogeochemical system is represented by 31 state variables of which 26 are in the water column and 5 in the surface sediment. Basic nutrients - e.g. nitrate or phosphate- enter the system via river input, atmospheric deposition, or recycling of organic matter. They are consumed by phytoplankton including cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria do not consume nitrate or ammonium but fixate molecular nitrogen to obtain needed nitrogen. Phytoplankton including cyanobacteria is grazed by zooplankton. Plankton respirates and dies. Dead plankton becomes detritus that sinks to the sediment.
