Short summary
Computer models of ocean biology and chemistry are becoming increasingly complex, and thus more expensive, to run. One solution is to approximate the behaviour of the ocean physics and store that information outside of the model. That offline information can then be used to calculate a steady-state solution from the model's biology and chemistry, without waiting for a traditional online integration to complete. We show this offline method reproduces online results and is 100 times faster.
