Sea Ice Sea ice is a thin skin of frozen water covering the polar oceans. It is a highly variable feature of the earth’s surface. Greece Ice Melt Pond Xingren Wu: Pancake Ice Snow-Ice The Sea-Ice Model Nilas & Leads First-Year Ice Multi-Year Ice Rafting CFSRR: 11/7/2007

Sea-Ice in the Climate System • • Sea-ice interacts strongly with both the atmosphere above and the ocean underneath in high latitudes. A sea ice cover significantly reduces the amount of solar radiation absorbed at the earth’s surface due to the marked changes in the surface albedo. The presence of extensive areas of sea ice suppresses heat loss by the ocean. The extent of sea ice is mainly influenced by, and has a significant effect on, the energy budget at the surface, and ocean-air energy exchange. Xingren Wu: The Sea-Ice Model CFSRR: 11/7/2007
Sea-Ice in the Climate System (cont. ) • The relationship between climate and sea ice is complex. Sea ice responds rapidly and sensitively to climatic change due to its “positive feedback”. • Snow on sea ice is also a very important factor in shaping polar climate. • In view of the varied impacts of the atmosphere, ocean and sea ice on each other, it is therefore important to include the sea-ice process in our weather and climate models.

Hibler VP Model • Five major dynamic forces in the momentum equation: – air stress at the top of sea-ice – water stress below sea-ice – gravitational stress from the tilt of sea surface (dynamic topography) – coriolis force – pressure stresses within ice • Nonlinear viscous-plastic (VP) ice rheology Hibler, W.

Sea-Ice in current operational CFS • Sea-ice is treated in a simple manner - 3 m depth with 100% concentration (i. e. no open water within the ice covered area). The surface temperature is predicted based on energy balance at the ice surface. • Sea-ice climatology is used to update sea-ice change in CFS (with 50% cutoff for sea-ice cover).

Sea-Ice in NCEP GFS (for NWP) • A three-layer thermodynamic sea-ice model has been embedded into GFS since May 2005. • Sea-ice concentration is prescribed. • Sea-ice/snow thickness, the surface temperature and ice temperature structure are predicted. • The heat and moisture fluxes and albedo are treated separately for ice and open water.
