Storyline data used in the paper "The July 2019 European heatwave in a warmer climate: Storyline scenarios with a coupled model using spectral nudging"

We provide the storyline data (in NetCDF format) used in the paper: “The July 2019 European heatwave in a warmer climate: Storyline scenarios with a coupled model using spectral nudging” published in Journal of Climate. The data is structured in four .tar.gz files (Preindustrial, Present, 2 and 4 K warmer climates)  containing all variables used in this each climate. The data from the five ensemble members  (E1 to E5) have been included separately in 3-months files.

Atmospheric variables (Files are named as: {variable}_E{ensemble member}_{starting month}{year}.nc:

Latent heat flux (ahfl)

Sensible heat flux (ahfs)

Monthly Global Mean 2m Temperature (GMTT2mMonthly)

Maximum 2m Temperature (t2max)

Mean 2m Temperature (t2mean)

Minimum 2m Temperature (t2max)

Soil Wetness (ws)

    Only for present climate:

850 hPa Temperature (T850)

Total Cloud Cover (TCC)

500 hPa Geopotential  Height (Z500)

Five layers soil moisture (Only for present climate, Files are named as: From20172019in2017Climatessp370{ensemble member}_{year}{starting month}.01_jsbid.nc) 

Oceanic variables (from FESOM, Files are named as: {variable}_E{ensemble member}_{year}{starting month}01.nc:

Sea Ice Concentration (SIC)

Sea Surface Temperature (SST)

Please, note that FESOM uses an unstructured mesh.
