| Zusammenfassung |
| We present results of an implementation of the Elastic Viscous Plastic (EVP)
sea ice dynamics scheme into the Hadley Centre coupled ocean-atmosphere
climate model HadCM3. Although the large-scale simulation of sea ice in
HadCM3 is quite good with this model, the lack of a full dynamical model
leads to errors in the detailed representation of sea ice and limits our
confidence in its future predictions. We find that introducing the EVP
scheme results in a worse initial simulation of the sea ice. This paper
documents various enhancements made to improve the simulation, resulting in
a sea ice simulation that is better than the original HadCM3 scheme overall.
Importantly, it is more physically based and provides a more solid
foundation for future development. We then consider the interannual
variability of the sea ice in the new model and demonstrate improvements
over the HadCM3 simulation. |
