I came across this Arctic-specific NODC product
https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/regional_climate/arctic/
I haven't looked at this product, so don't know if it addresses the interpolation issues. Revisiting the IC problems may not be a high priority now, but I thought I'd make a note of this in case it is useful.
Gustavo M Marques (Nov 23 2020 at 22:27):Thanks, Matt. We ended up not applying any smoothing since the issue goes away within the first day of simulation. I will take a look at this product when we are ready to revise the initial conditions.
