An elastic-viscous-plastic sea ice model formulated on Arakawa B and C grids
The elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) sea ice rheology has been introduced in the large-scale Louvain-la-Neuve sea-Ice Model, version 2 (LIM2), and its performance has been evaluated. Centred difference versions of the rheology have been implemented on both an Arakawa B grid and a C grid, and their perf...
