Sea ice volume
Note:c37: specifying net shortwave radiation
c47: remove net shortwave radiation specification and fix growth.F reduces sea-ice volume
c55 & c62: starts with higher initial sea-ice thickness increases volume
c57: increase dry-ice & dry-snow albedos increases ice-thickness & volume
c56: increase wet-ice & wet-snow albedos higher increase in volume
Dropping too fast?

Sea ice velocity
Expect: • ice velocity direction to the right of wind at ~ 25-40o
Model:• Turns to the right, but not enough• Sometimes: parallel to the wind dir• turning angles correlate with |vel|

Summary-1: Sea Ice
1. Sea Ice flux: over-estimates net ice export across Fram Strait by 40% to 60%
2. Sea ice thickness/extent/volume: too much ice extent in winter, too little in summer ice thickness small relative to ULS data in Arctic ocean closer to data in Greenland sea ice volume too small, with positive trend!
3. Sea ice velocity: parallel to wind direction, consistently to the left of data turning angles correlate with magnitude of vel

Arctic ocean : freshwater input through Bering Strait
Expect: ~0.053Sv[Aagaard and Carmack, 1989]

Summary-2: Arctic ocean
1. Fresh water volume: Between 60,000km3 to 67,000km3
2. Fresh water input through Bering Strait: ~ 0.031Sv
3. Arctic domain: SST does not drift ETAN drifting Ice velocity across Bering Strait: significantly larger than both c47 and
c55 ice import increases by 8% to 10% (NOT SHOWN HERE)

List of things to do (04/13/07):
1) Fix drifts in Arctic domain2) Fix vertical mixing
fix ice thickness + ice vol + fresh water vol?3) Jinlun’s comments:
• Initial condition for ice thickness: in the wrong season?• Ice extent problem in summer: thermodynamics• Tear-drop vs. elliptical yield curves:
might not solve discrepancies of vel near coast• Need to check if stresses lie on the yield curve
