### Data Description

This dataset contains MITgcm model output for the Greenland Sea region from October 2007 to October 2008. The saved variables include zonal velocity (`U`), meridional velocity (`V`), potential temperature (`T`), salinity (`S`), and surface heat flux (`TFLUX`).

The model configuration is described in Jian et al. (2026):
