In this thesis we investigate the sensitivity of the Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice cover and global ocean properties to wind-stress and radiative forcings from 1500 to 2000. In a first step, the conversion of the granular sea-ice model (GRAN) (Tremblay and Mysak, 1997) from Cartesian to spherical coo...
