Abstract

The CICE Consortium is a group of stakeholders and primary developers of the Los Alamos sea ice model (CICE) formed as a vehicle for collaboration to incorporate and maintain new research and development, and to accelerate scientific sea ice model development and its transfer into operational use.  Since DOE moved to the MPAS framework for the sea ice component in E3SM and is also supporting development of alternative models for sea ice dynamics, the Consortium provides the sea ice column physics, now referred to as Icepack, for these DOE models.  DOE projects also contribute to the Consortium’s code base. Here we provide an update of new sea ice modeling capabilities incorporated into the Consortium's CICE and Icepack repositories with particular relevance to DOE, and outline expected future developments.
