Ocean and sea ice 1/12 degree model hindcast for the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans (2003-2009)
Ocean and sea ice conditions are simulated for the period 2003-2009 using the model configuration described in Dupont et al. (2015). The model includes the Arctic and the North Atlantic oceans, and has a horizontal resolution of 1/12 degree, equivalent to an average of approximately 5km in the Arcti...
