Abstract:
      A global eddy-permitting ocean-ice coupled model with a horizontal resolution of 0.25° by 0.25° is established on the basis of Modular Ocean Model version 4 (MOM4) and Sea Ice Simulator (SIS). Simulation results are compared with those of an intermediate resolution ocean-ice coupled model with a horizontal resolution of about 1° by 1°. The results show that the simulated ocean temperature, ocean current and sea ice concentration from the eddy-permitting model are better than those from the intermediate resolutionmodel. However, both the twomodels have the common problem of ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) that the majority of the simulated summer sea surface temperature (SST) is too warm while the majority of the simulated subsurface summer temperature is too cold. Further numerical experiments show that this problem can be alleviated by incorporating the non-breaking surfacewave-induced vertical mixing into the vertical mixing scheme for both eddy-permitting and intermediate resolution models.
