NetCDF data used in analysis presented in "Assessment of the z~ time-filtered Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian coordinate in a global eddy-permitting ocean model", submitted to Journal of Advances in Modelling the Earth System. The data are produced from an ensemble of six experiments based on the GO8p0 configuration of NEMO v4.0.1 on a global 1/4° grid, as described in the paper. The ensemble is intended to test the z~ vertical coordinate, and includes a control with the default "z-star" fixed coordinate, and five experiments with the z-tilde vertical coordinate, using a selection of values for the two z-tilde timescale parameters. The data includes time series of global mean ocean and ice fields; large-scale transports; and fields from diapycnal mixing analysis. The first part of each filename refers to the experiment from the ensemble ("zstar", "ztilde_5_30", "ztilde_10_30", "ztilde_20_30", ztilde_20_60" and "ztilde_40_60"); the following five-character string identifies the respective suite on the Met Office Rose system and the MASS archive system; and the rest of the name specifies the type of data contained in the file. This work has been carried out as part of the project "Reducing numerical mixing resulting from applying tides explicitly in a global ocean model" (RENUMERATE) under the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS). CMEMS is implemented by Mercator Ocean International, in the framework of a delegation agreement with the European Union. It was also co-funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under the Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science (CLASS) marine research program, which supports the Joint Marine Modelling Programme (JMMP), a partnership between the Met Office, National Oceanography Centre, British Antarctic Survey and the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling.
