Norwegian Climate Prediction Model reanalysis with assimilation of SST anomaly : 1950-2010

The Norwegian Climate Prediction Model (NorCPM) is aiming at providing prediction from seasonal-to-decadal time scale. It is based on the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) and the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF]) data assimilation method. NorESM is a state-of-the-art Earth system model that is based on the Community Earth System Model (CESM) but uses a different aerosol/chemistry scheme and ocean model (evolved from MICOM). The EnKF is a sequential data assimilation method that allows for fully multivariate and flow-dependent corrections using a covariance matrix produced by a Monte-Carlo ensemble integration. This dataset is a pilot stochastic re-analysis, computed by the ocean component of NorCPM where sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from the stochastic HadISST2 historical reconstruction is assimilated for the period 1950-2010.
