ANHA12 ECP024: Arctic Ocean Model Output with Tides and Icebergs

A 5-day frequency output from a high-resolution Arctic Ocean model simulation. The dataset was produced by Pennelly, Clark and is hosted by the Borealis Harvested Dataverse. The simulation uses NEMO version 3.6 and LIM version 2, forced by ERA5 atmospheric data and initialized with GLORYS2v4 ocean conditions.

Use Cases

• Analyze Arctic Ocean circulation patterns based on the NEMO model output.
• Study sea ice dynamics and thermodynamics based on the LIM2 sea ice model component.
• Investigate the impact of tides and icebergs on ocean mixing and freshwater transport.
• Validate or compare other ocean models or satellite observations using the high-resolution simulation data.
• Examine the role of runoff from the Bamber 2018 dataset on Arctic freshwater content.

Strengths

• Uses high-resolution, state-of-the-art model components: NEMO 3.6 and LIM2.
• Incorporates multiple realistic forcing datasets: ERA5 for atmosphere, GLORYS2v4 for ocean boundaries and initialization, and Bamber 2018 for runoff.
• Includes advanced physical processes: 7 passive tracers, tides, and icebergs.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
