Herein, we publish the simulated global annual mean sea surface salinity (SAO), sea surface temperature (THO), ice compactness (SICOMO), zonal velocity (UKO), meridional velocity (VKE) and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) over a time period of 100 years retrieved from equilibrium climate simulations for the Miocene (~23-15 Ma). We investigate the sensitivity of stratification in the Arctic Ocean to the widening of Fram Strait (FS) and different levels of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The model data has been used in the publication by Hossain et al., 2020. The climate data has been produced with COSMOS (ECHAM5/JSBACH/MPIOM/OASIS3), utilized at a resolution of T31 in the atmosphere with 19 vertical layers and a resolution of GR30 (~3.0°x1.8°) in the ocean with 40 vertical layers. The model setup refers to boundary conditions (incl. changes in orography, bathymetry, physical land surface characteristics, ice sheets, atmospheric CO2) representative for the Miocene.
