  • Data set includes climatology (12 months) sea-surface temperature (TEMP) and sea-surface oxygen isotope ratio (R18O) from four Eocene simulations with 1×, 3×, 6×, and 9× preindustrial level of CO2 (284.7 ppmv), and a preindustrial simulation.
  • Climatology was calculated from averaging data over the last 100 years of each simulation.
  • Seawater d18O = (R18O - 1.0) * 1000.0
  • TEMP and R18O are on the POP ocean grid (~1°; see here: http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.2/pop2/).
