| Summary: | This report - Deliverable 5.1 from the project ' Ships and Waves Reaching Polar Regions ' (SWARP) under EU FP7 - focuses on the validation of the waves-in-ice and sea ice models of NERSC. Validation steps: • The modeled sea ice concentration is compared to OSI-SAF, with bias and root mean square error (RMSE), and ice edge disagreement calculated for a 1 year period. Generally the model underestimates the ice extent. • The modeled winter sea ice thickness over a 1 year period is compared to a prototype product from Ifremer which interpolates between Cryosat-2 and SMOS satellite products. The model has a strong tendency to underestimate the thickness (especially north of Greenland). • The calculated MIZ width is presented for a 1 year period. We look closely at one waves-in-ice event around 18 December. • Modelled wave attenuation is compared to some examples from D4.2 that ODL has estimated attenuation from SAR.
