Revision 1.2 - (hide annotations) (download) (as text)
Mon Sep 15 09:02:31 2008 UTC (16 years, 10 months ago) by mlosch
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.1: +19 -18 lines
File MIME type: application/x-tex
first "complete" draft of part1:
- modified introduction, most to please my taste
- wrote a short conclusion section, which is probably very weak
- wrote a "model description" based on the technical "appendix.tex",
  but much shorter, removed appendix.
- included a figure for cube76 (on skylla in ceaice/figs)
- some cleaning up, incomplete

TODO:
- please fill in references, where necessary (or remove). Specifcally,
  how do we cite Fenty? I have to look up Gerdes/NAOSIM again,
  couldn't find cava-park08 ...
- please respond to questions in text (marked with \ml{[ ]} and a
  different font, Dimitris: cube78 figure, Jean-Michel: description
  of Winton TD.

3 mlosch 1.2 As part of an ongoing effort to obtain a best possible, time-evolving
4     analysis of most available ocean and sea ice data, a dynamic and
5     thermodynamic sea-ice model has been coupled to the Massachusetts
6     Institute of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm). Ice
7     mechanics follow a viscous-plastic rheology and the ice momentum
8     equations are solved numerically using either
9     line-successive-over-relaxation (LSOR) or elastic-viscous-plastic
10     (EVP) dynamic models. Ice thermodynamics are represented using either
11     a zero-heat-capacity formulation or a two-layer formulation that
12     conserves enthalpy. The model includes prognostic variables for snow
13     and for sea-ice salinity. The above sea ice model components were
14     borrowed from current-generation climate models but they were
15     reformulated on an Arakawa C grid in order to match the MITgcm oceanic
16     grid and they were modified in many ways to permit efficient and
17     accurate automatic differentiation. This paper describes the MITgcm
18     sea-ice model; it presents example Arctic and Antarctic results from a
19     realistic, eddy-permitting, global ocean and sea-ice configuration;
20     and it compares B-grid and C-grid dynamic solvers in a regional Arctic
21     configuration.
