A 3-D Coupled Ice-Ocean Model

Abstract

A three-dimensional ice/ocean model is being developed for ice forecasting in Arctic regions. Particular emphasis is paid to sea ice distribution and ice edge location. The Hibler dynamic thermodynamic sea model is coupled to the Bryan/Cox multilevel baroclinic ocean model.
