Description
Summary:FY20 was a busy year for the CICE Consortium, with 4 releases each of Icepack and CICE, a user workshop and tutorial, expanding Consortium participation from our user base, and a broadening range of user applications, setting the standard for community collaboration. Major Icepack upgrades include a joint thickness and floe size distribution with adaptive timestepping, water isotope tracers, and shortwave enhancements within and below the ice. In addition, CICE now offers an implicit solver for viscous-plastic dynamics and improved testing capabilities. This presentation places these developments and future upgrades in the context of planned E3SM enhancements and scientific studies. This presentation was given for the DOE ESMD/E3SM PI meeting in late October, 2020. It includes audio narration. LA-UR--20-28461
