Model run with METROMS to evaluate open boundary conditions in CICE

Support for time-varying open boundary conditions (OBC) have been developed for sea ice in the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE) by Pedro Duarte (NPI, Norway). This dataset is a result of using the coupled ocean (ROMS) and sea ice (CICE) modelling framework METROMS (https://github.com/metno/metroms) in order to test the effects of the above mentioned boundary conditions. The specific application of METROMS that was used was MET Norway's main forecasting system for the Barents Sea; the Barents-2.5km model; details about the model can be found at https://ocean.met.no/models. The model was initialized from the TOPAZ4 model (Sakov et al., 2012)<strong> </strong>and was run for the period 2019.09.01 - 2019.10.03, one time without OBC and one time with OBC enabled using input data from TOPAZ4<strong> </strong>at the boundaries. This dataset can further be used to compare with satelite observations of sea ice concentration in order to help evaluate the impacts of the OBC's in CICE.
