Description

These images contain monthly averages for Arctic sea ice concentration and thickness between October 2010 and December 2015 from two simulations, one with the TOPAZ4 ocean-sea ice data assimilation system (Sakov et al., 2012 and https://resources.marine.copernicus.eu/?option=com_csw&view=details&product_id=ARCTIC_REANALYSIS_PHYS_002_003) and another with the S4K Arctic regional model. Image names are self-explanatory. Images with S4K results include a rectangle delimiting S4K domain, inserted in the larger TOPAZ4 domain. This was done to emphasize the transition between the two models, where the latter provides the boundary conditions to the former.
