Simulation of Arctic and North Atlantic ocean water and ice seasonal characteristics by the INMIO-CICE coupled model

The first results of simulation of the seasonal variability of the Arctic and North Atlantic ocean waters and ice by a coupled model based on a full three-dimensional ocean dynamics model INMIO4.1 and a sea-ice model CICE5.1 are considered. The coupled model can be run on massively parallel computers under control of the Compact Modelling Framework CMF2.0. The numerical experiment is performed according to the CORE-II protocol with 1948 atmospheric forcing data. Possible causes of the deviation of the model solution from the ERA-20C reanalysis and WOA09 climatology are discussed.
