Short summary
This study presents the Offline Fennel model, a tool designed to simulate ocean biogeochemical processes efficiently. By using existing hydrodynamic data, the model significantly reduces computation time from 6 h to just 30 min. We tested its accuracy in the northern Gulf of Mexico and found it closely matches physical–biogeochemical coupled simulations. This model allows researchers to conduct more tests and simulations without the need for extensive computational resources.
