Short summary
We have developed a new feature in the atmosphere and ocean components of the Community Earth System Model version 2 by implementing ultraviolet (UV) radiation inhibition of photosynthesis of four marine phytoplankton functional groups represented in the Marine Biogeochemistry Library. The new feature is tested with varying levels of UV radiation, and it will enable an analysis of an asteroid impact’s effect on the ozone layer and how that affects the base of the marine food web.
