amoc_gcm.mat:
UVic-based AMOC 26N evolution for historical forcing, RCP4.5, RCP4.5-GISmelt, RCP8.5 and RCP8.5-GISmelt pasted one after the other. Note that the yearly GCM-based AMOC timeseries are linearly interpolated onto temporal resolution chosen for ocean part of emulator (amoc_res) chosen here as 1yr/13.

Tglob_ref_gcm.mat:
UVic-based global reference temperature. Here based on an average for the period 1850-2005.

GISmelt_gcm.mat:
UVic-based total Greenland Ice Sheet melt flux (Sv) for equilibrium period, historical period, RCP4.5, RCP4.5-GISmelt, RCP8.5 and RCP8.5-GISmelt pasted one after the other. Note 1: that  the yearly GCM-based total Greenland Ice Sheet melt flux timeseries are linearly interpolated onto temporal resolution chosen for ocean part of emulator (amoc_res) chosen here as 1yr/13. Note 2: For the period without additional Greenland Ice Sheet melt, the average background value for the period 1971-2001 is applied.

T_gcm.mat:
UVic-based regional (5 regions) atmospheric temperature changes for the historical period, RCP4.5, RCP4.5-GISmelt, RCP8.5 and RCP8.5-GISmelt pasted one after the other. Note 1: that  the yearly GCM-based regional atmospheric temperature changes are linearly interpolated onto temporal resolution chosen for atmospheric part of emulator (ebm_res) chosen here as 1yr/52. Note 2: The regional atmospheric temperatures used here are averages over all longitudes within a specific latitudinal band.
