The purpose of this research was to develop a coupled sea ice-ocean model capable of simulating the upper ocean circulation features of the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) . A sea ice model using the Rossby-similarity method was added to a two-dimensional, embedded ocean general circulation— mixed layer mod...
