We provide model data from experiments with the coupled atmosphere-ocean climate model MPI-ESM1.2 of Fiedler and Putrasahan (accepted). These are processed data files in netCDF format used for figures shown in the manuscript: SST_change_SP-75_minus_PI.nc - mean difference in sea-surface temperatures associated with the change in the anthropogenic aerosol pattern of 1975 relative to 1850 from 200-years of model output of MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 1c, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) SST_change_SP-05_minus_SP-75.nc - mean difference in sea-surface temperatures associated with the change in the anthropogenic aerosol pattern of 2005 relative to 1975 from 200-years of model output of MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 1d, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) UWIND_change_SP-75-ATF_minus_PI.nc - mean difference in zonal 10m-wind component associated with the change in the anthropogenic aerosol pattern of 1975 (enhanced anthropogenic aerosol optical depth) relative to 1850 from 200-years of model output of MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 1e, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) MSLP_change_SP-75-ATF_minus_PI.nc - mean difference in the mean sea-level pressure associated with the change in the anthropogenic aerosol pattern of 1975 (enhanced anthropogenic aerosol optical depth) relative to 1850 from 200-years of model output of MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 1f, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) AMOC_*.nc - mean North Atlantic overturning circulation at 1000 m below the sea surface in the (*) experiments with MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 2a-b, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) NAHT_total_*.nc - mean total northward Atlantic heat transport in the experiments with MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 2c-e, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) NAHT_gyre_*.nc - gyre component of the mean northward Atlantic heat transport in the experiments with MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 2c-e, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) NAHT_moc_*.nc - overturning component of the mean northward Atlantic heat transport in the experiments with MPI-ESM1.2 (Figure 2c-e, Fiedler and Putrasahan, 2021) We further provide primary data information in Fiedler_Putrasahan_primary-data-information.txt. The model simulations were performed and analysed on the high-performance computer mistral of DKRZ. Our research was largely funded by the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology.

AbstractFuture changes in tropical cyclone properties are an important component of climate change impacts and risk for many tropical and midlatitude countries. In this study we assess the performance of a multimodel ensemble of climate models, at resolutions ranging from 250 to 25 km. We use a common experimental design including both atmosphere‐only and coupled simulations run over the period 1950–2050, with two tracking algorithms applied uniformly across the models. There are overall improvements in tropical cyclone frequency, spatial distribution, and intensity in models at 25 km resolution, with several of them able to represent very intense storms. Projected tropical cyclone activity by 2050 generally declines in the South Indian Ocean, while changes in other ocean basins are more uncertain and sensitive to both tracking algorithm and imposed forcings. Coupled models with smaller biases suggest a slight increase in average TC 10 m wind speeds by 2050.

Project: Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) datasets - These data have been generated as part of the internationally-coordinated Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6; see also GMD Special Issue: http://www.geosci-model-dev.net/special_issue590.html). The simulation data provides a basis for climate research designed to answer fundamental science questions and serves as resource for authors of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR6). CMIP6 is a project coordinated by the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) as part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). Phase 6 builds on previous phases executed under the leadership of the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) and relies on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) and the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) along with numerous related activities for implementation. The original data is hosted and partially replicated on a federated collection of data nodes, and most of the data relied on by the IPCC is being archived for long-term preservation at the IPCC Data Distribution Centre (IPCC DDC) hosted by the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ). The project includes simulations from about 120 global climate models and around 45 institutions and organizations worldwide. Summary: These data include the subset used by IPCC AR6 WGI authors of the datasets originally published in ESGF for 'CMIP6.HighResMIP.MPI-M.MPI-ESM1-2-HR.control-1950' with the full Data Reference Syntax following the template 'mip_era.activity_id.institution_id.source_id.experiment_id.member_id.table_id.variable_id.grid_label.version'. The MPI-ESM1.2-HR climate model, released in 2017, includes the following components: aerosol: none, prescribed MACv2-SP, atmos: ECHAM6.3 (spectral T127; 384 x 192 longitude/latitude; 95 levels; top level 0.01 hPa), land: JSBACH3.20, landIce: none/prescribed, ocean: MPIOM1.63 (tripolar TP04, approximately 0.4deg; 802 x 404 longitude/latitude; 40 levels; top grid cell 0-12 m), ocnBgchem: HAMOCC6, seaIce: unnamed (thermodynamic (Semtner zero-layer) dynamic (Hibler 79) sea ice model).
