Sensitivity experiments with EC-Earth3 in seasonal forecast mode initialized in May 1st, demonstrated an added value of sea-ice concentration assimilation through surface flux adjustments. This method yields improvements in spring and summer sea-ice concentrations, predominantly in the Atlantic and Eurasian sectors of the Arctic.
