Title: Sea Ice Model Complexity

Abstract: The CICE sea ice model is used extensively by climate and Earth system research groups, and also by operational centers for applications such as numerical weather prediction and guidance for military operations. A current discussion thread within the sea ice modeling community hinges on how complex such models need to be. This talk delves into the complexity of physical processes represented in the CICE model, including how the model evolved and why such complexity might — or might not — be needed.
