| 内容記述 | The described large-scale sea ice model, which is capable of coupling with atmospheric and oceanic models of comparable resolution, simulates the yearly cycle of ice in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Model results for the yearly cycle of sea ice thickness and extent in both the Arctic and the Antarctic are presented. Horizontally the model resolution is approximately 200 km, while vertically four layers - ice, snow, ocean, and atmosphere - are considered. Thermodynamic processes based on energy balances at the various interfaces and dynamic processes based on wind stress, water stress, Coriolis force, internal ice resistance, and the stress from the tilt of the sea surface are incorporated. It is assumed that the ice within a given grid square is of uniform thickness, although each square has a variable percentage of its area ice free. |
