Data set includes climatology (12 months) sea-surface temperature (TEMP), surface temperature (TS) and surface temperature at reference height (TREFHT) from four Eocene simulations with 1×, 3×, 6× and 9× preindustrial level of CO2 (284.7 ppmv), and a preindustrial simulation.

Climatology was calculated from averaging data over the last 100 years of each simulation.

TS and TREFHT are on the atmosphere grid of 1.9 × 2.5° (latitude × longitude).

TEMP is on the POP ocean grid (~1°; see here: http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.2/pop2/).
