Model run with METROMS to evaluate open boundary conditions in CICE

<p>Support for time-varying open boundary conditions (OBC) have been developed for sea ice in the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE)&nbsp;by Pedro Duarte (NPI, Norway). This dataset is a result of using the coupled ocean (ROMS) and sea ice (CICE) modelling framework METROMS (<a href="https://github.com/metno/metroms">https://github.com/metno/metroms</a>) in order to test the effects of the above mentioned boundary&nbsp;conditions. The specific application&nbsp;of METROMS that was used was MET Norway&#39;s main forecasting system for the Barents Sea; the Barents-2.5km model; details about the model can be found at&nbsp;<a href="https://ocean.met.no/models">https://ocean.met.no/models</a>.</p> <p>The model was initialized from&nbsp;the TOPAZ4 model&nbsp;(Sakov et al., 2012)<strong>&nbsp;</strong>and was run&nbsp;for the period 2019.09.01 - 2019.10.03, one time without OBC&nbsp;and one time with OBC&nbsp;enabled using input data from TOPAZ4<strong>&nbsp;</strong>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&#39;s in CICE.</p>
