Earth System Models (ESMs) include a sea ice component to physically represent sea ice changes and impacts on planetary albedo and ocean circulation (Manabe & Stouffer, 1980). Most contemporary sea ice models describe the sea ice pack as a continuum material, a principle laid by the AIDJEX (Arct...
