Simulation dataset of Eurasian westerly-monsoon and related major atmospheric circulation systems during the last glacial maximum and mid-Holocene- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

1) Data content: multi-model ensemble mean wind speed at 200 hPa and 850 hPa during the Last Glacial Maximum, mid-Holocene and pre-industrial period (reflecting high and low level westerlies), 850 hPa meridional and zonal winds (reflecting the East Asian monsoon circulation) and zonal mass streamfunction (reflecting Walker circulation); 2) Data sources: monthly data simulated by multiple climate models from the second and third stages of the international Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project; processing methods: multi-model equal weight arithmetic mean, monthly climate average; 3) Data application: used for the study of paleoclimate change and dynamic mechanism.
