'''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.

'''Short description:''' The Arctic Sea Ice Reanalysis 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, from Bering Strait to the North Atlantic. neXtSIM is forced by reanalyzed surface atmosphere forcings (ERA5) from the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and ocean forcings from TOPAZ4b, the ARC MFC MYP system (002_003). neXtSIM assimilates satellite sea ice concentrations from Passive Microwave satellite sensors, and sea ice thickness from CS2SMOS in winter from October 2010 onwards. The output variables are sea ice concentrations (total, young ice, and multi-year ice), sea ice thickness, sea ice velocity, snow depth on sea ice, sea ice type, sea ice age, sea ice ridge volume fraction and sea ice albedo, provided at daily and monthly 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.

'''Short description''' The Operational Mercator global ocean analysis and forecast system at 1/12 degree is providing 10 days of 3D global ocean forecasts updated daily. The time series is aggregated in time in order to reach a two full year’s time series sliding window. This product includes daily and monthly mean files of temperature, salinity, currents, sea level, mixed layer depth and ice parameters from the top to the bottom over the global ocean. It also includes hourly mean surface fields for sea level height, temperature and currents. The global ocean output files are displayed with a 1/12 degree horizontal resolution with regular longitude/latitude equirectangular projection. 50 vertical levels are ranging from 0 to 5500 meters. This product also delivers a special dataset for surface current which also includes wave and tidal drift called SMOC (Surface merged Ocean Current).

'''Short description:''' The operational TOPAZ5 Arctic Ocean system uses the HYCOM model and a 100-member EnKF assimilation scheme. It is run daily to provide 10 days of forecast (average of 10 members) of the 3D physical ocean, including sea ice with the CICEv5.1 model; data assimilation is performed weekly to provide 7 days of analysis (ensemble average). Output products are interpolated on a grid of 6 km resolution at the North Pole on a polar stereographic projection. The geographical projection follows these proj4 library parameters: proj4 = "+units=m +proj=stere +lon_0=-45 +lat_0=90 +k=1 +R=6378273 +no_defs" '''DOI (product) :''' https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00001
