ExperimentsH_NC2_AL0_ST0_CP0_D0_T0 • Inter-annually varying forcing (IAF), as developed by Large and Yeager (2008) at NCAR: CORE2 • Ice albedo • Ice mechanical redistribution (sea ice strength) • Coupling – especially how the momentum flux is transfer from atmosphere to the sea ice • Ocean dynamics • Time steps in both ice and ocean models
30-year long runs. 1978-2007Five 30-year tests are finished and another three are currently running. • H_NC2_AL0_ST0_CP0_D0_T0 – Control run All default values; albedo type= constant • H_NC2_AL1_ST0_CP0_D0_T0 Albedo type = default (ahmax = 0.5m) - albedo is constant above this thickness • H_NC2_AL2_ST0_CP0_D0_T0 Albedo type = default (ahmax = 0.5m) - albedo is constant above this thickness ; shortwave='dEdd’ • H_NC2_AL3_ST1_CP0_D0_T0 Albedo type = default (ahmax = 0.3m) - albedo is constant above this thickness ;Cf=5.6 • H_NC2_AL4_ST1_CP0_D0_T0 • Albedo type = default (ahmax = 0.1m) - albedo is constant above this thickness ; shortwave=’default’; Cf=5.6

Some conclusions • Default values of the model settings give not enough sea ice in the results. • 2007 ice extent minima was reproduced correctly with H_NC2_AL1_ST0_CP0_D0_T0 experiment. • We still have not get the proper sea ice thickness distribution. • The default ahmax=0.5 m is probably too high; some more tests are needed e.g. with R_ice : tuning parameter for sea ice albedo from Delta-Eddingtonshortwave.
Plan for the next six months: • Include the volume transport from Atlantic to Pacific side in fully coupled case. • Include and test 2km resolution version of the RASM with at least H comset. • Performed more tuning tests to get acceptable results. • Compare tuning results with measurement at least with RGPS measurements.
