Abstract: This dataset contains 6-hourly instantaneous categorial data of the Lamb circulation type (Lamb 1972) on a 2.5 degrees longitude-latitude grid covering the entire northern hemisphere extratropics between 30ºN and 70ºN for the period 1979-2005. These "Lamb catalogues" were calculated for the historical experiments of 46 distinct GCMs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 and 6 and two distinct reanalyses (ERA-Interim and JRA-55). For 12 out 46 GCMs, 72 additional runs are provided to explore the role of internal model variability.
