Data supporting 'Assessing the Spurious Impacts of Ice-Constraining Methods on the Climate Response to Sea-Ice Loss using an Idealized Aquaplanet GCM' by Neil T Lewis et al.

Data supporting Lewis et al., 2024. Assessing the Spurious Impacts of Ice-Constraining Methods on the Climate Response to Sea-Ice Loss using an Idealised Aquaplanet GCM. Submitted to Journal of Climate. 

All data is in NetCDF format. 

Output from each experiment is contained in its own folder (e.g., 'ALB.1'). For a description of each experiment, see the accompanying paper. 

Data files contain the following outputs: 

dyn_vars_daily_clim.nc contains day of year- and zonally-averaged atmospheric fields (u, v, T, etc). 

eddy_products.nc constains day of year- and zonally-averaged products of atmospheric fields (e.g., u'v'). 

ice_temp_daily.nc contains daily-averaged surface temperature and sea-ice thickness. 

toa_fluxes_clim.nc contains day of year-averaged top of atmosphere radiative fluxes (e.g., OLR). 

For the experiments NDG1.05, NDG1.1, and NDG1.2, nudge_daily_clim.nc is also included, and contains the day of year-averaged nudging heat flux applied to melt the ice.
