Show Abstract
10-day sea ice forecast was conducted using ocean-ice coupled model IcePOM (e.g., De Silva et al., 2020, Polar Geography) with the aim of supporting the Arctic cruise of R/V Mirai in 2021. For initialization of the model, ocean and ice variables are nudged to RIOPS analysis by ECCC. The forecast simulation is conducted each day using ECMWF 10-day atmospheric forecast for the boundary condition. The 10-day forecast is issued each day from Aug 24, 2021 to Oct 12, 2021.
