This dataset includes the Aqua-planet simulations outputs related to the paper "Deep winter mixed layer anchored by the meandering Antarctic Circumpolar Current: Cross-basin variations". The simulations aim to investigate the surface heat flux pattern in response to the sea surface temperature (SST) of a wave number-1 structure, mimicking the circumpolar meanders of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The model employed is the Community Atmospheric Model version 4 (CAM4), which is the atmospheric component of the Community Earth System Model (CESM) version 1.2.2. Further information to reproduce the aqua-planet simulation of CAM4 can be found at https://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/simple/fixed-sst-aqua#cam4. The dataset here includes monthly outputs of two sets of simulation, an idealized wave number-1 SST ("SST_WN1") and a more realistic SST ("SST_WN1-A"). More details can be found in section 2d of the paper. ...
