The convergence of an ensemble to an attractor during climate change

Time series of the annual mean near-surface air temperature of a grid point in the Southern Pacific in 192 members in each of two ensembles simulated by the Planet Simulator (Fraedrich et al., 2005) as described in Drotos et al. (2017) in relation to Fig. 2. One ensemble was initialised in year 0 (but note that the time series are available only from year 500 on) and the other in year 610 (the temperature of the last unperturbed year, year 609, is also included in the first lines of the corresponding files). The latter date is during a simulated climate change.
