Abstract: A 15-yr simulation of an ocean general circulation model, exposed to atmospheric forcing as provided by the ECMWF reanalysis 1979?93, is analyzed with respect to the statistics of the surface circulation of the North Sea ...

Abstract: AbstractThe uniqueness of optimal parameter sets of an Arctic sea ice simulation is investigated. A set of parameter optimization experiments is performed using an automatic parameter optimization system, which simultaneously ...

Abstract: arm water of open ocean origin on the continental shelf of the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas causes the highest basal melt rates reported for Antarctic ice shelves with severe consequences for the ice shelf/ice sheet ...

Abstract: AbstractImprovement and optimization of numerical sea ice models are of great relevance for understanding the role of sea ice in the climate system. They are also a prerequisite for meaningful prediction. To improve the ...
