Climate model results of Greenland-Scotland Ridge (GSR) gateway sensitivity studies of COSMOS in NetCDF format

Herein, we publish the simulated global annual mean surface air temperatures (tsurf), zonal (UKO) and meridional (VKE) velocities, temperature (THO), salinity (SAO) and horizontal barotropic streamfunction (PSIUWE) over a time period of 100 years retrieved from equilibrium climate simulations for testing the sensitivity of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge and utilized in the publication by Stärz et al. (2017). The climate data has been produced with COSMOS (ECHAM5/JSBACH/MPIOM/OASIS3), utilized at a resolution of T31 in the atmosphere (19 hybrid sigma-pressure levels) and a resolution of GR30 (bipolar orthogonal curvilinear grid, formal resolution of ~3.0°x1.8°) in the ocean (40 z-coordinate levels). The model setup refers to boundary conditions (incl. changes in orography, bathymetry, physical land surface characteristics, ice sheets, atmospheric CO2) representative for the Miocene. Further information on the model setup and the model scenarios, including identifiers, is given in the Supplementary Table 1 of Stärz et al. (2017).
