UVic ESCM Pre-industrial and LGM simulations of inert gases in global ocean

Model simulation results for:

Global Ocean Cooling of 2.3 ⁰C during the Last Glacial MaximumA.M. Seltzer, P.W. Davidson, S.A. Shackleton, D.P. Nicholson, and S. Khatiwala

Freely available for public use. Please cite above publication.

Contents:.mat files containing steady-state monthly climatologies for Ar, Kr, Xe, Ne, and N2 throughout global ocean. Concentrations in mol/kg.

.xlsx file containing processed model output and configuration details

30 experiments and corresponding files are included, described in Table S1 of publication. 

File format is: 

"A_Output" + Circulation/T/S type + Gas exchange parameterization + ice fields + winds

where Circulation/T/S type could be PIC or LGM, gas exchange can be either L13b1 or L13b2 (Liang et al., 2013) with original or doubled bubble fluxes, ice can be PIC, LGM, or LGMplus (equatorward extension by 1.8 deg latitude), and winds can be:

(nothing) = unchanged from PIC

or 

05 through 15 = multiplied by scalar (0.5 through 1.5) for all latitudes poleward of 50 deg

Also included are climatological UVic ESCM potential temperature and salinity for PIC and LGM (files called "Theta..." or "Salt...")
