The dataset contains monthly averages from a 54 year (1958-2011) numerical

ocean model hindcast archive, produced with the Regional Ocean

Modeling System (ROMS). ROMS is a three dimensional baroclinic

ocean general circulation model which uses topography-following

s-coordinates in the vertical. This ensures high vertical resolution

in shallow areas such as shelf seas and coastal areas. Here, the

model is run on a grid with 32 s-layers in the vertical. In the

horizontal, the grid resolution is 4 km and covers the Nordic,

Barents and Kara seas, as well as parts of the Arctic Ocean. For

All SVIM data (daily, monthly, yearly, climatology) are currently

bundled in the same location, data will be separated when a better

application server is implemented.
