Initial conditions used in FESOM2 simulations for Beech et al. (2025)

Initial condition files used in the transient (MR mesh, 1851-2100), historical (SO3 mesh, 1950-1956), and projected (SO3 mesh, 2090-2096) simulations described in Beech et al. (2024) and Beech et al. (2025). Runscripts and details are available in the gitub repository: https://github.com/n-beech/HL-SO-eddy. Beech, N., Rackow, T., Semmler, T., & Jung, T. (2024).
