GCOS EHI 1960-2020 Atmospheric Heat Content

The file “GCOS_EHI_1960-2020_Atmosphere_Heat_Content_data.nc” presents an updated estimate of the atmospheric heat content (AHC) from 1960-2020 calculated using observational data and reanalyses. The estimate is given for the AHC relative to 1960. This represents an update to the record described in von Schuckmann et al. (2020) with the ENSO signal removed. The data are used in von Schuckmann et al. (2022).
