Description
Summary:We use a reanalysis and hindcast dataset from NorCPM, which combines the Norwegian Earth system model (Bentsen et al. 2013) and an ensemble Kalman filter (Evensen 2003). This system version is comparable to the one providing operational forecast, namely, it assimilates sea-surface temperature and hydrographic profiles (temperature and salinity) using 60 members and strongly coupled data assimilation between the ocean and sea ice component (Bethke et al. 2021) - meaning that the ocean data correct also the sea ice component. We perform anomaly assimilation, meaning that the climatological monthly mean of the observations and the model are removed before comparing the two. The monthly climatology is constructed from the 60-member historical ensemble run (without assimilation) over the period 1982--2010. For the hydrographic profiles, it is constructed from EN4 objective analysis (Good et al. 2013). Only the ocean and sea ice are directly updated by the data assimilation. The other components of the model ... : 1 gzip compressed data, totaling ...... 12.42 GB ...
