Norwegian Climate Prediction Model version 1: reanalysis 1980-2010

The reanalysis is generated by Norwegian Climate Prediction Model (NorCPM, Counillon et al. 2014). NorCPM is a climate prediction system developed for seasonal-to-decadal climate predictions and long-term reanalyses. It combines the Norwegian Earth system model (NorESM, Bentsen et al. 2013) and the ensemble Kalman filter (Evensen 2003). The reanalysis consists of 30 ensemble members and covers the period of 1980–2010, in which anomaly assimilation of SST and T-S profile (Counillon et al. 2016; Wang et al. 2017) is used. Monthly SST data from Hadley Centre Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature dataset version 2.1 (HadISST2.1.0.0) and observed subsurface ocean temperature and salinity profiles are taken from the EN4 dataset (version EN.4.2.1, Good et al., 2013). The climatology defined for the anomaly assimilation is cover the period 1980–2010. The ocean component of NorCPM is updated at the assimilation step; the other components are dynamically adjusted during the system integration after the assimilation step.
