Description of contents:
Monthly mean atmospheric and ocean data for five fifty-year simulations with three initial condition ensemble members (fifteen cases total) from Luongo et al. (2022).

Clim1a - Unforced control case, initial condition 1
Tau1S1a - Unforced wind stress locked ''control'' case, initial condition 1
Clim2a - NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction case, initial condition 1
Tau1S2 - NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction case with unforced wind stress locking, initial condition 1
Tau2S1 - Unforced case with forced wind stress locking, initial condition 1

Clim1b - Unforced control case, initial condition 2
Tau1S1b - Unforced wind stress locked ''control'' case, initial condition 2
Clim2b - NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction case, initial condition 2
Tau1S2b - NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction case with unforced wind stress locking, initial condition 2
Tau2S1b - Unforced case with forced wind stress locking, initial condition 2

Clim1c - Unforced control case, initial condition 3
Tau1S1c - Unforced wind stress locked ''control'' case, initial condition 3
Clim2c - NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction case, initial condition 3
Tau1S2c - NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction case with unforced wind stress locking, initial condition 3
Tau2S1c - Unforced case with forced wind stress locking, initial condition 3

Methods:
To determine the fully-coupled (FC) response of the climate system to NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction, take the difference of Clim2 & Clim1. To determine the radiatively/buoyancy forced (BF) response of the climate system to NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction, take the difference of Tau1S2 & Tau1S1. To determine the wind stress/momentum forced (MF) response of the climate system to NH ETINMIP TOA insolation reduction, take the difference of Tau2S1 & Tau1S1. Luongo et al. (2022) considers the ensemble mean of the three initial condition ensemble members here.
