Description
Summary:Summary : This dataset contains the reference and tipped states from several model configurations developed at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the Institut des Géosciences de l’Environnement (IGE). They were gathered here in the context of the TiPACCs European project and constitute a useful ensemble of reference and tipped ocean–ice-shelf simulations that can be used to feed ice-sheet simulations or to train melt parameterizations . The simulations produced by AWI are based on the FESOM global ocean–sea-ice model using either Z- or Sigma- coordinates and all show a cold-to-warm tipping point for Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf. The two sets of simulations produced by IGE are based on the NEMO ocean–sea-ice model. They include a global configuration showing a cold-to-warm tipping point for Ross Ice Shelf, and regional Amundsen Sea configuration showing a warm-to-warmer transition (likely not a proper tipping point). The files include 3-dimensional and sea-floor ocean temperatures and salinities, ice-shelf ...
