Each files contains the annual mean depth integrated carbon biomass (mmol C/m2) of each of the 51 plankton types for each year 1991-2100.
Note that the atmospheric-ocean component of the earth system model used to produce the forcing fields has its own internal interannual variability. Though the frequency of phenomena such as ENSO are captured, they do not occur in same years as the real ocean.
