Assessments and analysis on simulation of high-resolution sea ice leads in the Arctic
-
摘要: 冰间水道只占北极冰区的1%～10%，但在海洋和大气之间的能量和水汽交换中起着重要作用。目前对冰间水道数值模拟结果的分析主要集中在水道出现频率的空间分布和水道面积占比的时空变化，而有关水道形态特征（长、宽和走向）模拟结果的分析较少。本文基于采用黏塑性流变学的高分辨率（2 km）冰海耦合模式模拟的海冰厚度来提取冰间水道，并利用3种MODIS冰间水道遥感产品进行形态特征的对比分析。分析结果显示，在波弗特海，模拟水道出现频率的空间分布与WH2015和H2019两种遥感产品基本一致；模拟结果中宽度大于6 km的水道数量概率密度和总长度符合遥感产品呈现的幂律分布规律，对2～4 km窄水道的分布受模式可解析能力限制本研究模式分辨率尚无法正确估计，存在低估；模拟水道总长度与遥感反演的结果在1月和3月相关性较好，但无法再现遥感产品中2月和4月的明显变化趋势；模拟水道和遥感产品总体走向一致，二者都显示，加拿大群岛以北和波弗特海东南部沿岸区域水道走向几乎与海岸线和冰速方向平行，模拟水道受陆地阻隔的影响更大，在波弗特海中部冰间水道和冰速发生转向的位置不一致。本研究揭示了当前高分辨率海冰模式对不同冰间水道形态特征的模拟能力的符合程度及不足之处，将有助于进一步的模式改进。

Abstract: Sea ice leads in the Arctic, accounting for only 1%−10% area of the whole ice area, play a crucial role in the exchange of energy and moisture between the ocean and the atmosphere. Currently, the analysis of the numerical simulation of the leads mainly focuses on the spatial distribution of the occurrence frequency and the spatio-temporal variations of the lead area proportion within the cell, while few analysis concerns the simulated lead morphology (length, width and orientation). This article is based on the high-resolution (2 km) ice sea coupling model using visual plastic rheologies to simulate sea ice thickness to extract leads, and the lead morphology is compared to three MODIS lead products respectly. The results show that the spatial distribution of simulated leads occurrence frequency in Beaufort Sea is basically consistent with WH2015 and H2019 products. The number density and total length of leads with a width greater than 6 km follow the power law distribution as presented in remote sensing products, while that of the narrow (2−4 km) leads are underestimated due to limited model’s resolution. The correlation between the total length of simulated leads and remote sensed products is high in January and March, but the model fails to reproduce the trends in February and April shown in the remote sensing products. The overall orientation of the simulated leads aligns with the remote sensing products, both show that leads along the north of the Canadian archipelago and the southeast of Beaufort sea are almost parallel to the coastline and the ice drift direction, while the orientation of the simulated leads is more restricted by the continent than that of remote sensing products, and the location of the lead and ice speed turning is not consistent in the middle of the Beaufort Sea. This study highlights the capability of the state-of-the-art high-resolution sea ice-ocean coupled models in simulating various morphological characteristics of sea ice lead, and provides insights for further model improvements. -
