Abstract

This dataset includes the MPI-ESM-LR model output prepared for SPECS seaIceInit (1991-2012). These data were prepared by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), as part of the SPECS project.

Model id is MPI-ESM-LR (MPI-ESM-LR 2013; atmosphere: ECHAM6 v6.1.0.0 (REV: 2595), T63L47; land: JSBACH (REV: v2.01); ocean: MPIOM (REV: 3151) marine biogeochemistry HAMOCC included, GR15L40; sea ice (REV: 3151): . Frequency is daily and monthly.

Daily Atmospheric variables are:
