Arctic Ocean Physics Analysis and Forecast

'''Short description:'''The operational TOPAZ5 Arctic Ocean system uses the HYCOM model and a 100-member EnKF assimilation scheme. It is run daily to provide 10 days of forecast (average of 10 members) of the 3D physical ocean, including sea ice with the CICEv5.1 model; data assimilation is performed weekly to provide 7 days of analysis (ensemble average).Output products are interpolated on a grid of 6 km resolution at the North Pole on a polar stereographic projection. The geographical projection follows these proj4 library parameters: proj4 = "+units=m +proj=stere +lon_0=-45 +lat_0=90 +k=1 +R=6378273 +no_defs" '''DOI (product) :'''https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00001
