Table 1. Upper boundary conditions used for the simulated soluble and solid species in the various scenarios defined in section 2.8.

For solutes, these are the concentrations in the bottom boundary layer above the DBL, for solids the depositional fluxes. Between the dates given here, values were linearly interpolated.
