Description

Amonthly_files.tar.gz contains the gridded monthly averaged quantities used in the manuscript Arctic sea ice mass balance in a new coupled ice-ocean model using a brittle rheology framework" for each year between 2000 and 2018.

Files containing "simba" in their name contain quantities related to the sea ice mass balance (volume of melt/growth...)

Files containing "icemod" in their name contain other quantities related to sea ice properties (thickness, concentration...)
