MPAS-A pseudo-global warming (PGW) experiment with convection-permitting resolution and regional configuration using the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) version 8.0.1

The dataset includes post-processed model outputs from regional configuration simulations (control and PGW) using the MPAS-A version 8.0.1. This is the first dataset publicly available that uses regional MPAS in combination with the PGW approach to study future climate in short time scales. The Limited-Area domain encompasses 30°S to 51°N and 3-km horizontal grid outputs, the post-processed outputs available here were interpolated to a 0.25-degree by 0.25-degree latitude-by-longitude grid and 27 isobaric levels (in the vertical). More details of the data and analysis are available in the following preprint submitted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters (GRL): https://essopenarchive.org/doi/pdf/10.22541/essoar.171052487.74353361. The namelist files to run the model, as well as a README file, are also included in this repository.
