+ | The Sea Ice MIP (SIMIP, | ||
+ | |||
+ | SIMIP has the ultimate goal to improve understanding about sea ice as a component of the complex coupled climate system: how does it respond to external forcing? how does it feed back? what is the role of internal versus forced variability of sea ice parameters? | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SIMIP is organized around three guiding set of questions: | ||
+ | |||
+ | (1) How can we explain model spread in simulating sea ice characteristics? | ||
+ | |||
+ | (2) How can we explain model biases? What part of the mismatch is truly related to model deficiencies, | ||
+ | |||
+ | (3) To what extent can we predict sea ice? What is the potential predictability of sea ice? What is the quality of initial conditions currently available? How to generate ensembles that reflect our uncertainty at best? | ||
+ | |||
+ | BSC-ES is contributing to SIMIP through F. Massonnet being a member of the SIMIP-panel (lead by D. Notz and A. Jahn) but also by the provision of initial sea ice states generated by the ensemble Kalman filter with EC-Earth. | ||
