Sea-ice model output analyzed in the Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx) Part I and Part II. There is one netCDF file per model, per year (1997 and/or 2008). Each netCDF file contains daily output (as means or instantaneous values -- as indicated in the name) for January-February-March of the given year. Please see below for more information on what is included and how to cite. 1. Naming convention of the files "Model simulation label" + _ + "year" + _ + "daily_means" OR "instant" 2. Variables included U,V : sea-ice velocity in the x,y directions (in m/s); A : ice concentration per grid cell (0 -- 1); h : mean ice thickness per grid cell (in m); Grid spacing information: centered on u-points ( DXU, DYU ), v-points ( DXV, DYV ), or t-points ( DXT, DYT ) (in m); Grid point coordinates: for u-points ( ULON, ULAT ), v-points ( VLON, VLA T), or t-points ( TLON, TLAT ) (in degrees); maskT : land mask at t-points (0/1 = ocean/land); time : time axis (in days since 1901-01-01 00:00:00). 3. Recommended citation usage If all simulations included in the current archive are used in a future study, we ask to cite this archive and the SIREx papers (Bouchat et al., 2022, Hutter et al., 2022 ). If only selected simulations are used, we ask to cite both this archive and the reference paper(s) applying to the selected simulation(s) (as stated indicated in Table 1 of the SIREx papers).
