Abstract: Abstract A high-resolution unstructured-grid global-regional nested ice-current coupled FVCOM system was configured for the Arctic Ocean and used to examine the impact of model resolution and geometrical fitting on the basin-coastal scale circulation and transport in the pan-Arctic. With resolving steep bottom slope and irregular coastal geometry, the model was capable of simulating the multi-scale circulation and its spatial variability in the Arctic Basin and flow through the Bering Strait, Fram Strait and Canadian Archipelago. The model-simu...
