Data Description
A full description of the data processing and uncertainties is given by Stroeve et al. (2018).
For this study, we performed two different CICE simulations. The first is a multiyear simulation from 1985 to 2017 (referred to as CICE-free). The second is a stand-alone sea-ice simulation for the pan-Arctic region starting in mid-November and running until the end of April of the following year for the last 7 winter periods from 2010/2011 to 2016/2017. This results in seven 1-year long simulations (referred to as CICE-ini), in which the initial thickness and concentration for each of the 5 ice categories is updated from the CS2 ITD using the CPOM CS2 November thickness fields.
The data is stored in netCDF format, with the following variables:
data variables: -1 hi_m grid cell mean ice thickness [m] -2 aice_m ice area (aggregate) [1] -3 dvidtt_m volume tendency thermo [cm/day] -4 dvidtd_m volume tendency dynamics [cm/day] grid variables: -1 TLAT -2 TLON -3 tarea
1) cice_free_1986_2017.nc contains the monthly free model run.
2) cice_ini_nov20XX.nc contains the initialised model runs for years 2010 to 2017.
3) grid_info.nc contains the polar stereographic 1 degree CICE grid used in this study.
