Bischof et al. 2023 - The role of the North Atlantic for heat wave characteristics in Europe, an ECHAM6 study

<strong>Data to reproduce the figures in Bischof et al. 2023: "The role of the North Atlantic for heat wave characteristics in Europe, an ECHAM6 study" submitted to GRL in July 2023. </strong> Modelling experiments are based on the FOCI model using ECHAM6 in an AMIP-like setup to carry out time slice experiments using 2018 background conditions in the atmosphere and on land (both following the SSP5-8.5 scenario) as well as in the ocean (daily forcing data based on ERA5). A sensitivity experiment without the cold SST anomaly in the subpolar North Atlantic that was observed in 2018 is also carried out. <strong>COLD-SH009</strong> refers to the 2018 experiment using 2018 SSTs as observed, <strong>NEUTRAL-RP006</strong> refers to the experiment with altered SSTs in the North Atlantic region only. Details on the method and model setup can be found in the associated publication.
