Abstract
This dataset contains output from 5 climate model experiments conducted as part of the North Atlantic Hosing Model Intercomparison Project. The experiments use idealised forcing, including adding hosing (additional surface fresh water) over the North Atlantic and Arctic. These experiments are:
• u03-hos - constant uniform hosing of 0.3 Sv.
• u03-r50 - experiment with no hosing initialised 50 years into u03-hos
• u03-r70 - experiment with no hosing initialised 70 years into u03-hos
• u03-r100 - experiment with no hosing initialised 100 years into u03-hos
• g01-hos – hosing around Greenland of 0.1Sv
Eight CMIP6 global coupled climate models took part (note that only some have conducted u03-r70 and u03-r100). The data is presented in gridded netcdf format with the intention of providing standardised data following the CMIP6 data request and CF metadata convention. The equivalent data with no hosing is available from the preindustrial control simulations from the CMIP6 database

Process overview
This dataset was generated by the computation detailed below.
| Title | Subset of CMIP6 models |
| Abstract | 8 Coupled climate and earth system models participating in CMIP6: CanESM5, CESM2, EC-Earth3, HadGEM3-GC3-1LL, HadGEM3-GC3-1MM, IPSL-CM6A-LR, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, MPI-ESM1-2-LR. All experiments were initialised from the CMIP6 preindustrial control simulations and are identical to these apart from the presence of hosing. u03-hos and g01-hos were started from the same start year as the piControl experiments, apart from CESM2 which started the hosing experiments after 500 years of the piControl. |
