NUMERICAL PREDICTION OF THE THERMODYNAMIC RESPONSE OF ARCTIC SEA ICE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES
A description is given of a one-dimensional model of Arctic sea ice. The inputs are: albedo, incoming radiation, turbulent fluxes, oceanic heat flux, ice salinity and snow accumulation. Given an arbitrary initial ice temperature field and ice thickness, the model predicts the changes in these wrough...
