Evaluation of NOGAPS Forcing Data for PIPS 3.0

Abstract

Operational requirements dictate the use of NOGAPS forcing fields for the PIPS ice forecasting system. This study provides an assessment of the NOGAPS model output as a suitable source for atmospheric forcing fields for PIPS 3.0. Included in the study is an assessment of the errors in some of the most critical model variables.
