Summary: | This animated GIF file visualizes daily grid-cell mean sea ice thickness from version 1 of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) using 25km Atmosphere/Land and 8-16km Sea Ice-Ocean resolutions as described in the manuscript "The DOE E3SM coupled mo del version 1: Description 1 and results at high resolution". River routing is resolved at 0.125˚. This fully coupled simulation was spun-up for 6 years, and then proceeded for 50 subsequent years using HighResMIP protocols for continuuous 1950s atmospheric constituents. The animation shows both pan-Arctic and Southern Ocean daily sea thickness evolution in each frame for model years 46 to 55, truncated at 15% sea ice concentration, and is best viewed from within a web browser.
