Abstract

Modifications and application of a two-dimensional sea-ice model of the Arctic Basin to accept remotely-sensed atmospheric and surface fields is described. Various components of the dynamic and heat-transfer elements of the model are modified to allow satellite-derived fields to be used in place of radiative flux parameterizations, ice-velocity estimates, surface thermodynamic calculations, surface albedo estimates, and ice-covered area. The approach used to build the model is described, and an example comparing a standard run with a run using remotely-sensed ice velocities is discussed
