nextGEMS: output of the model development cycle 2 simulations for ICON and IFS

In the first phase of the nextGEMS project, the two Earth-system models ICON (Version ee0ee6) and IFS (Cycle 47r3.3 nextGEMS) are developed in three iterative cycles aiming at simulating the climate 30 years into the future at storm-resolving scale. In each development cycle new features are implemented into the models improving the physical representation of the coupled Earth system as well as the technical feasibility to run at high resolution for increasing simulation time periods. A development cycle concludeds with a simulation for at least one year at 5 km horizontal resolution or lower. The cycle 2 model runs produced about 1 PB of model output. A subset of the data is published here, namely monthly averages of selected 2d variables from the 5km ICON simulation and 4km IFS simulation.

Attribute description
northward_wind-at10m
Descriptor

"Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.) [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: m s-1
Attribute description
precipitation_flux
Descriptor

In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2 s-1
Attribute description
surface_downward_latent_heat_flux
Descriptor

The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). The surface latent heat flux is the exchange of heat between the surface and the air on account of evaporation (including sublimation). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: W m-2
Attribute description
sea_surface_temperature
Descriptor

Sea surface temperature is usually abbreviated as "SST". It is the temperature of sea water near the surface (including the part under sea-ice, if any), and not the skin temperature, whose standard name is surface_temperature. For the temperature of sea water at a particular depth or layer, a data variable of sea_water_temperature with a vertical coordinate axis should be used. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: K
Attribute description
toa_net_downward_longwave_flux
Descriptor

"longwave" means longwave radiation. "toa" means top of atmosphere. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). Net downward radiation is the difference between radiation from above (downwelling) and radiation from below (upwelling). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: W m-2
Attribute description
surface_downward_sensible_heat_flux
Descriptor

The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). The surface sensible heat flux, also called "turbulent" heat flux, is the exchange of heat between the surface and the air by motion of air. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: W m-2
