Abstract

Abstract

The latest Los Alamos sea ice model (CICE5.0) is coupled to the Beijing Climate Center coupled system model (BCC_CSM2.0) by replacing its original sea ice model (SIS). The performance of the new coupled model in simulating silent features of Arctic sea ice during 1985-2009 is thoroughly assessed through a comparison to both the original version and observations. The results show that the new coupled model can reasonably capture the spatial pattern, seasonal and inter-annual variation of Arctic sea ice. The CICE5.0 significantly improves the Arctic sea ice simulation, which includes a decrease (increase) of one year (multi-year) sea ice area, an increase in ice thickness, a reduction in ice motion, and a more realistic Beaufort Gyre. Further analysis indicates that, compared with the SIS, the better performance of the CICE5.0 in simulating the Arctic sea ice, especially for its thickness, results in positive ice-temperature feedbacks when coupled with the BCC_CSM2.0. As a result, the surface air temperature, sea level pressure, and the sea surface temperature are better simulated, which further improves the Arctic sea ice simulation.
