• Used GLS mixing with MY2.5 parameters
• No explicit horizontal viscosity or diffusivity

Ice Dynamics
Ice dynamics are based upon the elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP)rheology of Hunke and Dukowicz (1997), Hunke (1991) and Hunke and Dukowicz (1992).
Under low deformation (rigid behaviour), the singularity is regularized by elastic waves. The response is very similar toviscous-plastic models in typical Arctic pack ice conditions.
Numerical behaviour improved significantly by applyinglinearization of the viscosities at every EVP time step.
The EVP model parallelizes very efficiently under both OpenMPAnd MPI.

Ice Thermodynamics
Ice thermodynamics are based upon those of Mellor andKantha (1989) and Häkkinen and Mellor (1992). Main featuresinclude:• Three-level, single layer ice; single snow layer• Molecular sublayer under ice; Prandtl-type ice-ocean boundary layer• Surface melt ponds• Forcing by short and long-wave radiation, sensible and latent heat flux• NCEP fluxes, corrected for model surface temperature and ice concentration, used as forcing

Conclusions
• Model captures seasonal variability in the Barents • Good agreement with observed ice distribution
• Barents inflow is too cold, too fresh – OBC issue
• Brine rejection from ice formation produces realistic water masses
• ROMS captures significant portion of mesoscale variability even with 9-km resolution
