Coupled Ocean and Sea-Ice Models : Review and Perspectives
This article reviews the existing coupled models of ocean and sea ice used in climate studies, and describes the methods used to realize their coupling. The role of sea ice in the climate system is first described. Then a brief history of uncoupled sea-ice modelling is presented, following a hierarc...
