Dynamics of longitudinal Hawaiian hotspot motion and the formation of the Hawaiian-Emperor Bend

This dataset supports the study “Dynamics of Longitudinal Hawaiian Hotspot Motion and the Formation of the Hawaiian-Emperor Bend.” It includes the modeling code, as well as the primary input and output files used in the research.

Specifically, the dataset contains:

• The CitcomS code with data assimilation modules employed in the study;

• A modified version of the plate reconstruction model from Clennett et al. (2020);

• The modeled trajectories of the Hawaiian hotspot, along with hotspot paths inferred by the authors using the plate reconstruction results.
