3     As part of ongoing efforts to obtain a best possible synthesis of most
4     available, global-scale, ocean and sea ice data, a dynamic and thermodynamic
5     sea-ice model has been coupled to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6     general circulation model (MITgcm). Ice mechanics follow a viscous plastic
7     rheology and the ice momentum equations are solved numerically using either
8     line successive relaxation (LSR) or elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) dynamic
9     models. Ice thermodynamics are represented using either a zero-heat-capacity
10     formulation or a two-layer formulation that conserves enthalpy. The model
11     includes prognostic variables for snow and for sea-ice salinity. The above
12     sea ice model components were borrowed from current-generation climate models
13     but they were reformulated on an Arakawa C-grid in order to match the MITgcm
14     oceanic grid and they were modified in many ways to permit efficient and
15     accurate automatic differentiation. This paper describes the MITgcm sea ice
16     model; it presents example Arctic and Antarctic results from a realistic,
17     eddy-permitting, global ocean and sea-ice configuration; it compares B-grid
18     and C-grid dynamic solvers in a regional Arctic configuration; and it presents
19     example results from coupled ocean and sea-ice adjoint-model integrations.
