Description
Summary:NESOSIM is a three-dimensional, two-layer (vertical), Eulerian snow on sea ice budget model developed with the primary aim of producing daily estimates of the depth and density of snow on sea ice across the polar oceans through the winter accumulation season (Petty et al., 2018). This repository contains model output from September 1st 1980 to April 30th 2021 based on the NESOSIM v1.1 code release which is available on GitHub (https://github.com/akpetty/NESOSIM/tree/v1.1) and archived through Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.4448355). More information about changes between the v1.0 and v1.1 model framework can be found in those links. A manuscript is being prepared which will provide further insights. Data production: Data are re-initialized at the end of summer each year (September 1st) using summer near-surface air temperature-scaled initial snow depths and run through until the end of April of the following year. The 1987-1988 winter is missing due to the lack of passive-microwave derived ice concentration data ... : This work was funded by NASA's ICESat-2 Project Science Office (PSO) as part of efforts to generate sea ice thickness estimates from NASA's ICESat-2. ...
