Short Summary

This dataset provides processed model output and Python plotting scripts designed to track the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) under climate change scenarios.

Objective

• To provide a standardized dataset and computational tools for tracking the behavior and evolution of the AMOC in the context of climate change.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Atlantic Ocean / Global
• Temporal Scale: Climate change timescales (specific duration not provided in the text)

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not specified (processed model output)
• Data sources: Model-derived data (13.1 GB total volume)

Main Results

• Provision of a comprehensive dataset (AMOC-Tracking.zip) containing processed model outputs and Python scripts for data visualization and analysis.

Contributions

• Enhances reproducibility and accessibility by providing the open-source data and scripts necessary to analyze AMOC tracking under climate change.

Funding

• Not specified
