The Deep South National Science challenge has funded both sea ice observational research (Targeted Observation and Process-Informed Modelling of Antarctic Sea Ice (TOPIMASI)) and climate modelling research over nine years of the Challenge. With the evolution of this research, this programme has produced improvements to climate models, such as the physical core of the New Zealand Earth System Model (NZESM), which have built on the observational sea ice research. This brief outlines the research that has been conducted through these programmes. ...
