AWI-CPS analysis and forecast output

<p>The dataset contains the analysis and sea ice forecast results from the Alfred Wegener Institute Coupled Prediction System (AWI-CPS). Note that due to the large ensemble used (30) in the AWI-CPS, the output data is generated with only monthly mean data. One who has further interest in the daily output could reach the authors through emails.</p> <p>AWI-CPS.DA.tar.gz has both ocean and sea ice variables, where the variable has&nbsp;a suffix of &#39;f&#39; means forecast, &#39;a&#39; stands for analysis, and &#39;ini&#39; stands for initialized states.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>AWI-CPS.FCST.tar.gz contains the sea ice forecasts for different lead times initialized in January, April, July and October. The axis &#39;fcst&#39; for each variable actually represents forecasts with 4 different lead times of L0-2, L3-5, L6-8, L9-11. For example, L0-2 indicates forecasts with lead times of 0, 1, and 2 months, and so forth for other lead times.&nbsp;Both sea ice probability and sea ice concentration before and after the calibration are given in the data file.&nbsp;Specifically, SIP_FCST_CORR is for sea ice probability after calibration, while SIP_FCST_RAW is the raw forecast; SIC_Cal is after calibration, while SIC_RAW is the raw forecast.&nbsp;</p> <p>To obtain the mesh file for FESOM2 and visualize the data, one is referred to&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6335530">&nbsp;https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6335530</a>.</p>
