Compute and plot Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) metrics.

If the CDR metrics dataset (self.ds_cdr) does not already exist, it computes the metrics using model output and grid information. Afterwards, it generates a figure titled “CO2 uptake and CDR efficiency” with twin y-axes: dimensionless efficiency and CO2 uptake in tonnes CO2.

Notes

Metrics include:

  • Grid cell area

  • Selected tracer and flux variables

  • Uptake efficiency computed from flux differences and DIC differences

  • Total carbon uptake from the same flux and DIC constructions (not normalized by the alkalinity/DIC source)
