Code and Data for Permafrost Carbon Release Under Overshoot Warming

Norman Julius Steinert published code and data on 2026-05-04 to reproduce findings from a study on permafrost carbon release. The 182.5 MB archive contains Python notebooks and organized data streams from climate models like NorESM2-LM and JULES. It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Reproduce climate model figures based on the provided Python notebooks.
• Analyze permafrost-area soil carbon dynamics based on data from JULES and NorESM2-LM simulations.
• Study the relationship between cumulative emissions and temperature overshoot based on the 'cumem' data stream.
• Investigate AMOC timeseries and global mean temperature patterns based on the NorESM2-LM output.

Strengths

• Includes a complete Python environment specification ('environment.yml') for reproducibility.
• Data is organized into specific streams (e.g., JULES, NorESM2-LM, OSCAR) for clarity.
• The 182.5 MB size suggests a substantial volume of model output data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical tasks.
