Scripts for the Analysis for the manuscript "Climate Fingerprints of Mediterranean Outflow Water in the Intermediate North Atlantic"

This repository contains all scripts and processed datasets required to reproduce the analyses and figures presented in the manuscript “Climate Fingerprints of Mediterranean Outflow Water in the Intermediate North Atlantic.” The repository includes code for extracting Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) properties from the ECCOv4r4 ocean state estimate (1992–2017), computing salinity and velocity anomalies, performing EOF and lag-correlation analyses, and diagnosing advective and source-related contributions to MOW variability. Scripts are also provided to generate all figures in the manuscript and Supplementary Information, including surface composite maps, propagation diagnostics, and budget decompositions. All scripts are organized by analysis step and are intended to be run sequentially. Intermediate and final outputs, including processed NetCDF files and publication-ready figures, are included to facilitate transparency and reproducibility.
