Fig. 2: Mean bias of simulated winter SIT and SIC during 2011–2019.
From: Impact of satellite thickness data assimilation on bias reduction in Arctic sea ice concentration
Climatological bias of the SIT (m) in noDA (a) and DA (b) with respect to PIOMAS and of SIC (a fraction from 0 to 1) in noDA (c) and DA (d) with respect to SSMIS CDR during the DJF season over 2011–2019. Climatological average of the SIT in noDA (blue) and DA (red) for MIZ where the SIT in noDA is thinner than 0.4 m, the Sea of Okhotsk (140 − 160°E, 40 − 60°N), and the Barents Sea (30 − 60°E, 70 − 75°N) (e). The differences of SIC (solid) and SIA (dotted) between DA and noDA experiments are distributed as a function of SIT in noDA (f).
