BiogeochemicAl Model for Hypoxic and Benthic Influenced areas (BAMHBI) v1.0.1, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16964655, 2025 M. Grégoire and L. Vandenbulcke https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16612928
Short summary
This paper describes the ocean BiogeochemicAl Model for Hypoxic and Benthic Influenced areas (BAMHBI). BAMHBI is a moderate complexity marine biogeochemical model that describes the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon and oxygen through the marine foodweb. BAMHBI is a stand-alone biogeochemical model that can be coupled to any hydrodynamical model and is particularly appropriate for modelling low oxygen environments and the generation of sulfidic waters.
