This data set contains the full forcing interannual simulation output from the global ocean-sea ice model ACCESS-OM2 in the 1° horizontal configuration over the period 1972-2018. This simulation was branched off from the repeat decade forcing spin-up and alongside the control simulation (see light blue and black lines in Fig. 1c in the publication linked below). The control simulation output can be found here: https://zenodo.org/record/8339578 The output here as well as in the control simulation is saved in sets of ten years (output200, output201, ...) in the ocean/ and ice/ folders as netcdf files. The last output folder contains the data for 2012-2018 with the last four years of this output folder (output204) are again the 1972-1975 period and should be omitted from any analysis. For more information on the spin-up and the model configuration, see the Methods section and Fig. 1 in Huguenin, M.F., Holmes, R.M. & England, M.H.
