PIOMAS Arctic Sea Ice Volume Reanalysis
=======================================

Description
-----------
Sea Ice Volume is calculated using the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and
Assimilation System (PIOMAS, Zhang and Rothrock, 2003) developed at
APL/PSC.  Anomalies for each day are calculated relative to the average
over the 1979-2016 period for that day of the year to remove the annual
cycle. The model mean annual cycle of sea ice volume over this period
ranges from 28,000 km3 in April to 11,500 km3 in September.
