BALTIC SEA PHYSICS REANALYSIS FROM SMHI

Area: BALTIC SEA

Period: 1989-2014

Data available: YES

Institution: Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SW), Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS)
Model: HIROMB (High-Resolution Operational Model for the Baltic). At the lateral boundary in the western English Channel and along the Scotland-Norway boundary, the sea levels are prescribed using a coarse (24 nautical miles resolution) storm-surge model called NOAMOD (North Atlantic Model)
Resolution: Coverage: North Sea as well as the Baltic Sea, 3 nautical miles grid (5.5 km), 50 vertical levels
Data assimilated: charts of SST, Sea Ice Concentration and Sea Ice Thickness from the Swedish Ice Service at SMHI as well as in-situ meassurements of T/S (Temperature and Salinity) profiles from the ICES data base (http://www.ices.dk)
Assimilation method: Ensemble 3D-Var data assimilation scheme
Forcing and relaxation used: Meteorological forcing is from the HIRLAM (High-Resolution Limited Area Model) model with 22 km resolution, from the recently finished project Euro4M (Dahlgren et al., 2014)
