Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx) - Model output data

Sea-ice model output analyzed in the Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx) Part I and Part II. There is one netCDF file per model, per year (1997 and/or 2008). Each netCDF file contains daily output (as means or instantaneous values -- as indicated in the name) for January-February-March of the given year. Please see below for more information on what is included and how to cite. <strong>1. Naming convention of the files</strong> "Model simulation label" + _ + "year" + _ + "daily_means" OR "instant" <strong>2. Variables included</strong> <em>U,V</em> : sea-ice velocity in the x,y directions (in m/s); <em>A</em>: ice concentration per grid cell (0 -- 1); <em>h</em>: mean ice thickness per grid cell (in m); Grid spacing information: centered on u-points (<em>DXU, DYU</em>), v-points (<em>DXV, DYV</em>), or t-points (<em>DXT, DYT</em>) (in m); Grid point coordinates: for u-points (<em>ULON, ULAT</em>), v-points (<em>VLON, VLA</em>T), or t-points (<em>TLON, TLAT</em>) (in degrees); <em>maskT</em>: land mask at t-points (0/1 = ocean/land); <em>time</em>: time axis (in days since 1901-01-01 00:00:00). <strong>3. Recommended citation usage</strong> If <em>all</em> simulations included in the current archive are used in a future study, we ask to cite this archive and the SIREx papers (Bouchat et al., 2022, Hutter et al., 2022 ). If only <em>selected </em>simulations are used, we ask to cite both this archive and the reference paper(s) applying to the selected simulation(s) (as stated indicated in Table 1 of the SIREx papers).
