Description

Supporting Data: OSNAP_model.tar.gz, NetCDF format, file information:

Annual-mean temperature and salinity data from the Met Office statistical ocean reanalysis used in the model reconstruction:

Tp_meto_60-20.nc      Annual mean ocean potential temperature 1960 to 2020

S_meto_60-20.nc        Annual mean ocean salinity 1960 to 2020

Time series of model overturning (MOC) along OSNAP line, OSNAP west and OSNAP east sections:

MOC_OSNAP.nc, MOC_West.nc, MOC_East.nc                              MOC following OSNAP protocol, maximum MOC in density space

MOC_OSNAP_27.7.nc, MOC_West_27.7.nc, MOC_East_27.7.nc   MOC at constant density level 27.7
