Data for reproducing figures in the publication "Hysteresis and temporary resilience of the AMOC in an eddy-permitting GCM". moc_26Nmax.nc - timeseries of AMOC strength (Sv) measured as the maximum at 26N. MLD_LSmax.nc - timeseries of maximum March mixed layer depth (m) in the Labrador Sea (53-65N,48-62W) MLD_area500.nc - area (m2) where March mixed layer depth in the N Atlantic > 500m dens_NATL.nc - density (kg/m3) averaged over full depth and 30N to the Bering Strait. Also contains density due to salinity (DS) and temperature (DT) changes only from the time hosing stops in each experiment sbudg_ experiment .nc contains the salinity budget (1e6 PSU m3/s) for the volume covering full depth and from 30N to the Bering Strait. Components are dS/dt, surface fluxes, diffusion and advection. Also advection is geometrically broken into that from the throughflow, that from the gyre and that from the overturning For all time is in years. Experiments are defined the following way: control - preindustrial control with no added hosing hos H - run where hosing of strength H Sverdrups is applied (ie hos01 has 0.1 Sv) off H _ T - run which starts after hosing H Sverdups has been applied for T years.
