The model outputs are from a high-resolution (1.5 km) numerical model - Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), including dynamic sea-ice and static ice shelves. The model simulation covers the period 2006-2012 and is forced by atmospheric output from the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System and ERA-Interim. More details of the model simulation can be found in Graham et al. (2016). The model outputs list here cover the period from December/02/2007 – November/31/2009.

ROMS version used: ROMSv3.6. Information on ROMS model can be found at: https://www.myroms.org/wiki/
