Sea ice forecasting
Sea ice forecasting in the Barents and Kara Seas
A regional ice-ocean forecasting model for the Barents and Kara Seas has been established to provide up to 10 day forecasts of the ice edge location, sea ice concentrations ice velocity and ice thickness using the 4 km ice-ocean model. This model is nested to the TOPAZ modelling system providing ice-ocean forecasts for the North Atlantic and Arctic. The model results are available at http://topaz.nersc.no/Knut/IceForecast/Barents/
