September 26th, University of Reading, UK
Department of Meteorology, Room 1L61
This one-day workshop brought together users and developers of sea-ice models to start a joint effort for improving sea-ice models. We will coordinate the analysis of sea-ice biases in CMIP5 models, determine the most pressing needs for model development, identify the most helpful observational data, and compile a list of the most useful sea ice variables to be saved for CMIP6. The workshop is the first in a series of planned activities from the Sea ice and Climate Modeling Forum, which is a WCRP-CliC initiative that aims at improving and better understanding large-scale sea-ice simulations by coordinating a joint effort of the international sea ice modeling community. Following a few short plenary talks, the workshop will consist of breakout group and discussion sessions.
