Model output containing ocean and sea ice variables from GO6 eORCA1 (1948-2009)

This dataset contains monthly means of ocean and sea ice variables from a 61-year (1948-2009) integration of the GO6 model configuration at 1° horizontal resolution. The ocean output fields on T, U, V, and W grids and the sea ice fields are provided in separate files. The ocean component is on a 1° grid (eORCA1) with 75 vertical levels. The temperature and salinity fields were initialised from EN4 climatology (Good et al., 2013) and forced by the CORE2 surface dataset (Large & Yeager, 2009) for five cycles of the forcing: the present dataset only contains the final cycle. The outputs were generated under the UK Earth System Modelling (UKESM) project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under reference NE/N018036/1.
