Are the investments in high resolution sea ice modeling paying off?
State-of-the-art coupled climate models face challenges in accurately simulating historical variability and trends of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice, which affects the reliability of their future projections. Based on recent research, this CRiceS webinar gives insight into the role of high spatial resolution in sea ice simulations and the possible avenues to improve them.
