This dataset contains the underlying data for the manuscript Lambert et al., Tracing the imprint of river runoff variability on Arctic water mass transformation, submitted to JGR-Oceans ----------------------------------- Both files contain variables with the general notation: S..., which are the cumulative salt fluxes; S..2, which are the salinity-transformation fluxes; T..., which are the cumulative heat fluxes; and T..2, which are the temperature-transformation fluxes. ----------------------------------- In the file crfdata.nc, the variable names contain: slrx: surface salinity restoring term emp: evaporation-precipitation, small en neglected in the manuscript rnf: river runoff ice: ice melt brnx: brine rejection including the penetration into subsurface layers qns: nonsolar surface heat flux qswx: heat flux due to shortwave radiation including the penetration into subsurface layers fsiso/ftiso: isopycnal diffusion of salt/heat fsdia/ftdia: diapycnal diffusion of salt/heat sec: advection across the collective Arctic gateways Each variable is of size [4,12,nS] or [4,12,nT] where nS is the number of salinity bins, equal to the length of variable S and nT is the number of temperature bins, equal to the length of variable T The first dimension is ordered as follows: 0: delta_s, the equilibrium response to a 30% increase in total Arctic river runoff 1: tau_s, the e-folding time scale of this response in months 2: std, the standard deviation of the control value 3: ctrl, the average control value The second dimension indicates the calendar month ----------------------------------------- In the file pp2.nc, the variable names contain: slrx: surface salinity restoring term rnf: river runoff ice: ice melt brnx: brine rejection including the penetration into subsurface layers qns: nonsolar surface heat flux qswx: heat flux due to shortwave radiation including the penetration into subsurface layers adv: advection across the collective Arctic gateways dif: total isopycnal + diapyncal diffusion Each variable is of size [2,nS] or [2,nT] The first dimension is: 0: explained model variance between 0 and 1 1: explained model variance where correlations with p>.05 equal NaN
