Webinar - Are the investments in high resolution sea ice modelling paying off?

23 October 2024 at  15:00-16:00 CEST, online

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.

1/ Presentation:

 Limited Benefits of Increased Spatial Resolution for Sea Ice in High-resolution Climate Simulations, by Julia Selivanova, (Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici)

2/ Panel discussion: 

Where should we be investing to improve sea ice simulations?

Moderator: Morven Muilwijk (Norwegian Polar Institute)
