Dataset of model hindcast and climate projection data from a NEMO-ERSEM simulation of the 7km-resolution Atlantic Margin Model (AMM7). Model description and data are presented in Wakelin, S. L., Y. Artioli, J. T. Holt, M. Butenschön, and J. Blackford (2020), Controls on near-bed oxygen concentration on the Northwest European Continental Shelf under a potential future climate scenario, Progress in Oceanography, 102400. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pocean.2020.102400. Coupled NEMO-ERSEM model simulations are used to study temperature, salinity and near-bed oxygen concentrations on the northwest European Continental Shelf (NWES). Data are from a hindcast (1980 to 2007) and a climate projection (1980 to 2099) under the RCP8.5 climate emissions scenario. The climate projection (1980 to 2099) under the RCP8.5 climate emissions scenario is described as experiment E1 in Holt, J., J. Polton, J. Huthnance, S. Wakelin, E. O'Dea, J. Harle, A. Yool, Y. Artioli, J. Blackford, J. Siddorn, and M. Inall (2018), Climate-Driven Change in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans Can Greatly Reduce the Circulation of the North Sea, Geophysical Research Letters, 45(21), 11,827-811,836. doi:10.1029/2018gl078878. The dataset consists of Hindcast simulation data AMM7_hindcast_3D_S_1980_2007.nc - monthly mean salinity fields. AMM7_hindcast_3D_T_1980_2007.nc - monthly mean temperature fields. AMM7_hindcast_near_bed_O2o_1980_2007.nc - near-bed oxygen concentrations on the NWES. Climate projection data AMM7_RCP8_5_3D_S_1980_2099.nc - monthly mean salinity fields. AMM7_RCP8_5_3D_T_1980_2099.nc - monthly mean temperature fields. AMM7_RCP8_5_3D_U_1980_2099.nc - monthly mean eastwards currents. AMM7_RCP8_5_3D_V_1980_2099.nc - monthly mean northwards currents. AMM7_RCP8_5_near_bed_1980_2099.nc - monthly mean near-bed oxygen concentrations and near-bed bacterial respiration on the NWES. AMM7_RCP8_5_netPP_1980_2099.nc - monthly mean depth integrated net primary production.
