IMR Ice Dynamics Ice dynamics are based upon the elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) rheology of Hunke and Dukowicz (1997), Hunke (1991) and Hunke and Dukowicz (1992). Under low deformation (rigid behaviour), the singularity is regularized by elastic waves. The response is very similar to viscous-plastic models in typical Arctic pack ice conditions. Numerical behaviour improved significantly by applying linearization of the viscosities at every EVP time step. The EVP model parallelizes very efficiently under both OpenMP And MPI.
IMR Ice Thermodynamics Ice thermodynamics are based upon those of Mellor and Kantha (1989) and Häkkinen and Mellor (1992). Main features include: Three-level, single layer ice; single snow layer Molecular sublayer under ice; Prandtl-type ice-ocean boundary layer Surface melt ponds Forcing by short and long-wave radiation, sensible and latent heat flux NCEP fluxes, corrected for model surface temperature and ice concentration, used as forcing
