Diagnostics from CMIP6, atmospheric reanalyses, and passive-microwave observations used to examine the impact of ocean heat transport on Arctic and Antarctic sea ice

Description

Various geophysical diagnostics calculated from model output obtained from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6), for pre-industrial control, historical, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 simulations of 20 climate models. Diagnostics include monthly-mean sea ice area, extent, and sea ice-edge latitude, annual ocean and atmospheric meridional energy transports, and annual polar-cap averages of ocean heat content, near surface air temperature, and atmospheric vertical heat fluxes. Analogous sea ice diagnostics from passive-microwave observations, and surface temperature diagnostics from atmospheric reanalysis products (CFSR, CFSv2, ERA5, JRA-55, and MERRA-2), are also included.
