Laurentide Ice Sheet evolution towards the Last Glacial Maximum using AWIESM model with interactive ice sheets

This archive contains model data and figures associated with the study titiled "Rapid Laurentide Ice Sheet growth preceding the Last Glacial Maximum due to summer snowfall" (Niu et al., 2024). The comprehensive Earth system model AWI-ESM with interactive ice sheets is used for the model simulations. The notation of the individual files in the archive corresponds to the respective figure numbers in the paper. The respective file content is described by the corresponding figure caption in the paper. Niu, L., Knorr, G., Krebs-Kanzow, U. et al.
