Research data for "Understanding the sea surface temperature impact on an atmospheric blocking event using sensitivity experiments with the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) model"

This archive contains data presented in the manuscript “From Sea to Sky: Understanding the sea surface temperature impact on an atmospheric blocking event using sensitivity experiments with the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) model” published in Weather and Climate Dynamics (Svenja Christ, Marta Wenta, Christian M Grams, and Annika Oertel, 2024, DOI: ). For this sensitivity study five simulations with the ICON model were conducted and analysed, whereby each experiment uses different prescribed sea surface temperature (SST) conditions.

This data set contains (i) the initial SST fields of each experiment, and (ii) the warm conveyor belt (WCB) trajectory data from the ICON simulations of each experiment. For details on the SST initial fields, ICON simulations, and trajectory data, please refer to the original publication.
