Description:
Herein, we publish the simulated global annual mean surface air temperature (SAT), sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), sea ice cover (seaice), surface albedo (albedo) and total cloud cover (aclcov) over a time period of 100 years retrieved from equilibrium climate simulations for the Middle Miocene and Preindustrial. We simulate Miocene and Preindustrial climate states at different atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The model data has been used in the publication by Hossain et al., 2022. The climate data has been produced with AWI Earth System Model (AWI-ESM2.1; ECHAM6/JSBACH/MPIOM2/ OASIS3‐MCT), utilized at a spectral resolution of T63 (~1.88° x 1.88°) in the atmosphere with 47 vertical layers. FESOM2 uses the COREII mesh. The Miocene model setup is based on the combined high-resolution (0.1° x 0.1°) global bathymetry and topography (Middle Miocene; ~14 Ma) of Paxman et al. (2019), Hochmuth et al. (2020) and Straume et al. (2020). The model setup refers to boundary conditions (incl. changes in orography, bathymetry, physical land surface characteristics, ice sheets, atmospheric CO2) representative for the Miocene and Preindustrial. Details on setup and identifiers of Miocene and Preindustrial model simulations can be found in Table 1 of Hossain et al., 2022.
