ACCESS-OM2-025 simulation output for Hobbs et al. (2025) "Ocean constraints on winter Antarctic sea ice extent"

This record contains ACCESS-OM2-025 simulation output accompanying the paper: Hobbs, W., Holmes, R. and Kiss, A. (2025) Ocean constraints on winter Antarctic sea ice extent, Journal of Geophysical Research, XXXXDOI TO BE INSERTED ONCE PUBLISHED XXX Data is provided for the ERA5 forced version of ACCESS-OM2-025 used in the arcticle. Netcdf files are organised per year, for each of the years 1980-2021 The ocean_vars files contain monthly averages of the following variables: temp; the Conversative Temperature over the top 300m salt; Practical Salinity over the top 300m net_sfc_heating; the net surface heat flux across the sea surface mld; the mixed layer depth The ice_vars files contain monthly averages of aice_m - the monthly average fractional sea ice coverage for each grid cell. Variables are only provided over the Southern Ocean are south of 45S. For more information on the simulations, please see the Hobbs et al.
