Some blabla |
As part of ongoing efforts to obtain a best possible synthesis of most |
56 |
|
available, global-scale, ocean and sea ice data, a dynamic and thermodynamic |
57 |
|
sea-ice model has been coupled to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology |
58 |
|
general circulation model (MITgcm). Ice mechanics follow a viscous plastic |
59 |
|
rheology and the ice momentum equations are solved numerically using either |
60 |
|
line successive relaxation (LSR) or elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) dynamic |
61 |
|
models. Ice thermodynamics are represented using either a zero-heat-capacity |
62 |
|
formulation or a two-layer formulation that conserves enthalpy. The model |
63 |
|
includes prognostic variables for snow and for sea-ice salinity. The above |
64 |
|
sea ice model components were borrowed from current-generation climate models |
65 |
|
but they were reformulated on an Arakawa C-grid in order to match the MITgcm |
66 |
|
oceanic grid and they were modified in many ways to permit efficient and |
67 |
|
accurate automatic differentiation. This paper describes the MITgcm sea ice |
68 |
|
model; it presents example Arctic and Antarctic results from a realistic, |
69 |
|
eddy-permitting, global ocean and sea-ice configuration; it compares B-grid |
70 |
|
and C-grid dynamic solvers in a regional Arctic configuration; and it presents |
71 |
|
example results from coupled ocean and sea-ice adjoint-model integrations. |

requirement early on in the development of the MIT general |

\label{sec:model} |
circulation model (MITgcm) [Marshall et al. 1997a, |
82 |
|
Marotzke et al. 1999, Adcroft et al. 2002]. It was recognized |
83 |
|
that the adjoint permitted very efficient computation |
84 |
|
of gradients of various scalar-valued model diagnostics, |
85 |
|
norms or, generally, objective functions with respect |
86 |
|
to external or independent parameters. Such gradients |
87 |
|
arise in at least two major contexts. If the objective function |
88 |
|
is the sum of squared model vs. obervation differences |
89 |
|
weighted by e.g. the inverse error covariances, the gradient |
90 |
|
of the objective function can be used to optimize this measure |
91 |
|
of model vs. data misfit in a least-squares sense. One |
92 |
|
is then solving a problem of statistical state estimation. |
93 |
|
If the objective function is a key oceanographic quantity |
94 |
|
such as meridional heat or volume transport, ocean heat |
95 |
|
content or mean surface temperature index, the gradient |
96 |
|
provides a complete set of sensitivities of this quantity |
97 |
|
with respect to all independent variables simultaneously. |
