Information - CR15 Representation of sea ice in models
Event Information
A common point of agreement between simulations of climate change is the large response that takes place in the Arctic. The complex interactions between the atmosphere, ocean and sea ice are responsible for this significant high-latitude climate change response. Although climate models predict large changes in the Arctic sea ice extent in response to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, for example, the magnitude and spatial structure of the response differs between the models. Without doubt, the various representations of sea ice dynamics and thermodynamics is partly responsible for this situation. In this session we welcome papers that cover the latest developments in sea ice modelling, including topics such as melt ponds, ridging schemes, leads and polynyas, to studies based on general circulation models of the ocean or climate that address how the representation of sea ice impacts on the model results.
