Abstract

This dataset contains global gridded metrics describing lake water temperature, sediment temperature, and heatwave characteristics derived from climate model simulations. Each NetCDF file represents one climate model × emissions scenario (e.g. gfdl-esm4_ssp126_global.nc).Multiple files exist for different future scenarios (e.g. SSP/RCP pathways). All variables are provided on a 0.5° global grid (720 × 360) and represent spatially aggregated lake responses within each grid cell. Missing values are encoded as NaN. For more details, please refer to "NetCDF Dataset Description.docx". Along with the dataset, a code for plotting figures in the paper is also attached "00_isimip_sed_heatwave.m".
