Arctic Ocean Sea Ice Analysis and Forecast

'''Short Description:'''

The Arctic Sea Ice Analysis and Forecast system uses the neXtSIM stand-alone sea ice model running the Brittle-Bingham-Maxwell sea ice rheology on an adaptive triangular mesh of 10 km average cell length. The model domain covers the whole Arctic domain, including the Canadian Archipelago and the Bering Sea. neXtSIM is forced with surface atmosphere forcings from the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and ocean forcings from TOPAZ5, the ARC MFC PHY NRT system (002_001a). neXtSIM runs daily, assimilating manual ice charts, sea ice thickness from CS2SMOS in winter and providing 9-day forecasts. The output variables are the ice concentrations, ice thickness, ice drift velocity, snow depths, sea ice type, sea ice age, ridge volume fraction and albedo, provided at hourly frequency. The adaptive Lagrangian mesh is interpolated for convenience on a 3 km resolution regular grid in a Polar Stereographic projection. The projection is identical to other ARC MFC products.
