(a) Distribution of the FVCOM nesting nodes (in red circles) along the northern and southern boundary of the modeling domain. A total of 618 nodes are identified using a nesting zone radius of 5 km. (b) The atmospheric forcing setup for FVCOM. The outline of the 5.5 km high-resolution RACMO domain is highlighted by black circles. The FVCOM nodes that lie inside it are shown in red and those falling outside are shown in yellow. The ERA-Interim grid covering the entire FVCOM domain is shown in blue. Longitude and latitude are expressed in °east and °north, respectively. The black box in (a) and (b) shows the location of the Petermann Fjord.
