Toward Reanalysis of the Arctic Climate System - Sea Ice and Ocean
Reconstruction with Data Assimilation
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.304

Summary
The major goal of this project was to develop an integrated set of data
assimilation procedures for the ice-ocean system that is able to provide
gridded data sets that are physically consistent and constrained to the
observations of sea ice and ocean parameters. The project uses modern
four-dimensional variational (4D-Var, adjoint) data assimilation methods. Sea
ice and ocean models with new data assimilation procedures were employed to
maximize the integration of model results with observations and thus attempt
to provide the arctic research community with complete and accurate data sets
for 3 different climate regimes, namely: 1972-1978, 1989-1996, and 1997-2006.
The reconstructed monthly mean water temperature, salinity and currents at
standard for above mentioned climate regimes are provided in figures and in
gridded digital form.
