Design and development of the SLAV-INMIO-CICE coupled model for seasonal prediction and climate research

Abstract

Abstract SLAV–INMIO–CICE is the coupled atmosphere–ocean–ice model developed at Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics (INM) Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS and Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia (HMCR). The model components are coupled using the new version of the own developed Compact Modeling Framework (CMF). This paper presents design of the coupled model and some computational aspects related to the model components coupling. Preliminary evaluation of the coupled model climate and performance are also given.
