Integrated observational dataset for model validation [Roode, S. and C.
Bretherton]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.818

Summary
This is an external link to a SHEBA dataset from the University of
Washington's Atmospheric Sciences Department. A central goal of the SHEBA
project was to provide a comprehensive observational test of model simulations
of the atmosphere-sea ice-ocean system over the Arctic Ocean. This integrated
dataset is designed to bring together many of the observations needed to
validate such models, and in particular to initialize, and force single-column
model simulations during all phases of the annual cycle.
