The simulated sea ice drift data is a by-product from a sea ice thickness assimilation system that generates the Arctic 'Combined Model and Satellite sea ice Thickness (CMST; doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.891475) ' dataset. The data also provide the ocean current velocity where ice free. To obtain the sea ice drift on the geographic coordinate, a transformation must be done as following: uE = AngleCS * SIuice - AngleSN * SIvice; vN = AngleSN * SIuice + AngleCS * SIvice; where uE and vN are two velocity components on the geographic coordinate; AngleCS and AngleSN can be found in 'grid.cdf'; SIuice and SIvice are sea ice velocity on model mesh.
