ACCESS-OM2 1° resolution global repeat decade forcing control simulation data for 1972-2018 (Q6723708)

This data set contains control simulation output from the global ocean-sea ice model ACCESS-OM2 in the 1 horizontal configuration over the period 1972-2018. The model was spun-up using modified repeat decade forcing for the period 1962-1971 to equilibrate the ocean to this period prior to most of the anthropogenic ocean heat uptake. This repeat decade forcing simulation was then continued up to present time and relabeled as the control simulation. The output is saved in sets of ten years (output200, output201, ...) in the ocean/ and ice/ folders as netcdf files. The last output folder contains the data for 2012-2018 with the last four years of this output folder (output204) are again the 1972-1975 period and should be omitted from any analysis. For more information on the spin-up and the model configuration, see the Methods section and Fig. 1 in Huguenin, M.F., Holmes, R.M. England, M.H.
