Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Modular Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D Spatial extent Global Model domain Marine, Cryosphere One-line model description Los Alamos sea ice model Extended model description CSIM is the sea ice component of CCSM that includes an elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) dynamics scheme, an ice thickness distribution, energy-conserving thermodynamics, a slab ocean mixed layer model, and the ability to run using prescribed ice concentrations. It is supported on high and low-resolution Greenland Pole grids, which are identical to those used by the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) ocean model.
