Brief description

Please note that Ec-Earth2 includes LIM2 and EcEarth3 can be used with both LIM2 and LIM3.

ID SEA ICE MODEL GRID FIRST LAST INTERVAL (MONTH) MEMBERS Comments Reference
DFS4.3 LIM2 ORCA1 19581101 20051101 11 fc0 Initial conditions used for Ec-Earth2.3 CMIP5 decadal predictions Brodeau et al (2006)
b02t LIM2 ORCA1 19580101 20061231 all fc0 Similar to DFS4.3 but run after a spinup and with a newer model version Guemas et al (2013)
b02s LIM2 ORCA1 19580101 20061231 all fc0-fc4 Similar to b02t but with ocean nudging toward the 5-member ORAS4 ocean reanalysis and with wind perturbations to produce 5 members Guemas et al (2013)
i00v LIM2 ORCA1 19790101 20131231 all fc0-fc4 Similar to b02s but using newer atmospheric forcings (ERAinterim) Guemas et al (2013)
GLORYS2V1 LIM2 ORCA1 19921101 20091101 05,11 fc0 Interpolated initial conditions from an ocean reanalysis run coupled with a sea ice model Ferry et al (2010)
GLORYS2V1 LIM2 ORCA025 19921101 20091101 05,11 fc0 Interpolated initial conditions from an ocean reanalysis run coupled with a sea ice model Ferry et al (2010)
i03r LIM3 ORCA1 19580101 20061231 all fc0-fc4 Similar to b02t but with LIM3 no reference yet, Guemas et al (2013) can be used for the protocol
i03s LIM3 ORCA1 19790101 20131231 all fc0-fc4 Similar to i03r but using newer atmospheric forcings (ERAinterim) no reference yet, Guemas et al (2013) can be used for the protocol
i056 LIM3 ORCA1 19580101 20061231 all fc0-fc4 Similar to b02s but with LIM3, better than i03r no reference yet, Guemas et al (2013) can be used for the protocol
i057 LIM3 ORCA1 19790101 20131231 all fc0-fc4 Similar to i00v but with LIM3, better than i03s no reference yet, Guemas et al (2013) can be used for the protocol
m017 LIM3 ORCA025 19930501 20091101 05,11 fc0 Available for testing but does not include observational information no reference
m063 LIM3 ORCA025 19580101 20061201 all fc0 Using DFS4.3 surface forcing fields no reference

Need for new sea ice initial conditions

These are ranked by priority :

1) ORAP5 ORCA1 and ORCA025 configuration

2) ORCA025 in-home reconstruction / reanalyses covering 1958 to present
