Support for time-varying open boundary conditions (OBC) have been developed for sea ice in the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE)by Pedro Duarte (NPI, Norway). This dataset is a result of using the coupled ocean (ROMS) and sea ice (CICE) modelling framework METROMS ( https://github.com/metno/metroms ) in order to test the effects of the above mentioned boundaryconditions. The specific applicationof METROMS that was used was MET Norway's main forecasting system for the Barents Sea; the Barents-2.5km model; details about the model can be found at https://ocean.met.no/models . The model was initialized fromthe TOPAZ4 model(Sakov et al., 2012) and was runfor the period 2019.09.01 - 2019.10.03, one time without OBCand one time with OBCenabled using input data from TOPAZ4 at the boundaries. This dataset can further be used to compare with satelite observations of sea ice concentration in order to help evaluate the impacts of the OBC's in CICE.
