A New Arctic Ice-Ocean Prediction System

Abstract

The long term goal of the project is to produce a new operational Arctic ice-ocean prediction system that improves on the earlier PIPS 1.0 and PIPS 2.0 systems, as measured in terms of forecasting skill. The objectives are to better represent important sea-ice features such as the ice edge and orientation of leads, to better represent currents which affect ice motion, to improve the initialization of ice forecasts, and to implement the models on microprocessor-based parallel computers for use at Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC).
