This study investigates sea ice and ocean circulation using a 3‐D, 3.8 km CIOM (Coupled Ice‐Ocean Model) under daily atmospheric forcing for the period 1990–2008. The CIOM was validated using both in situ observations and satellite measurements. The CIOM successfully reproduces some observed dynamic...
