User's Manual for the Polar Ice Prediction System (PIPS) Version 3.0
The Polar Ice Prediction System (PIPS) Version 3.0 is a dynamic sea-ice model that forecasts conditions in all sea-ice covered areas in the northern hemisphere (down to 30 degrees north in latitude). It has a horizontal resolution of approximately 9 km. The vertical resolution in the model has been...
