This ocean model is operated at 20km resolution covering the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean. This specific dataset provides the hourly forecast fields from the operational model. For historical purposes, the daily analysis is provided as another dataset. If for some reason the historical forecast is required, pleased use the contact information provided to receive this (manual task). A numerical model is applied to describe the dynamics of the oceans, such as sea level variations (tides and storm surge), movements in the water column (currents) and the salinity and temperature. To simulate the ocean, a 3-D grid is applied with different sizes, i.e., small grids for fine scale or detailed calculations, and larger or coarser grids to cover larger areas (and depth). The model runs on a supercomputer, and provides forecasts of sea level, currents, salinity and temperature for a time-range between 66 (2.75 days) and 240 hours (10 days). The model is run operationally, i.e, in a "24/7/365" environment to provide a 99.5% stability on a yearly basis. Currents from the model is further applied in emergency-models that simulates pathways of oil slicks and drifting objects (Search And Rescue). The ocean model used is the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). This is a three-dimensional, free-surface, terrain-following numerical model that solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the hydrostatic and Boussinesq assumptions (Haidvogel et al., 2008).

This ocean model is operated at 20km resolution covering the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean. This specific dataset provides the daily analysis from the operational model. Only the analysis is provided for historical periods, the daily forecast with 1 hour resolution is provided as a separate dataset.
