  1. ERA5 is a reanalysis product, here coarsened to 1° horizontal resolution17. SHiELD is an approximately 100 km resolution global atmospheric model which was forced by historical sea surface temperatures19. For the SHiELD dataset, data are available from two ensemble members initialized from slightly different initial conditions on October 1, 1939, doubling the number of samples available.
