"A North Atlantic Ocean-ice Downscaling System has been developed, which consists of a high resolution model for the northwest Atlantic region nested to a low resolution model for the North Atlantic. The models are forced by the European Centre for Median Weather Forecasts Reanalysis Interim (ERI) product. The simulation was carried out for the period from 1980 to 2018. The northwest Atlantic model results are evaluated for ocean temperature and salinity, winter convection in the Labrador Sea and dominant shelf-scale currents, as well as winter sea ice extents. The model results are in good qualitative agreement with observations in terms of dominant features and in approximate quantitative agreement with observations at various locations. A monthly climatology of the model ocean temperature, salinity, currents, and sea ice extents over the northwestern Atlantic are established to help understand interannual and decadal oceanographic variability in this region. The dataset could also help address ecosystem science and fisheries management issues in the northwest Atlantic"--Abstract, page vi. Includes abstract in French. Oceanography North Atlantic Region.
