Description

This data set includes the data necessary to reproduce the findings of McPherson et al., in revision, and recreate the figures in the manuscript.

The output of model simulations with the global ocean sea ice model FESOM2.1 is provided. 

In particular, the data set includes:

  1. long term means of potential temperature, salinity, velocity and basal melt of the 79N Glacier averaged over 1970-2021 (fesom.mean.1970_2021.t.s.u.v.mat)
  2. air-sea heat flux anomaly and anomalous wind field at 10m, taking mean winter (DJF) conditions between 2014 - 2016 from the mean of the years 2017 - 2020 (fesom.anom.fh.wind.mat)
  3. Atlantic Water temperature and velocity anomalies, taking mean winter (DJF) conditions between 2014 - 2016 from the mean of the years 2017 - 2020 (fesom.anom.t.u.v.mat)

Each file includes information on the model grid (longitude and latitude of nodes, depths of the vertical layers, elements, nodal areas) needed for plotting the data.
