Ice mechanics follow a viscous plastic +rheology and the ice momentum equations are solved numerically using either +line successive relaxation (LSR) or elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) dynamic +models. Ice thermodynamics are represented using either a zero-heat-capacity +formulation or a two-layer formulation that conserves enthalpy. The model +includes prognostic variables for snow and for sea-ice salinity. The above +sea ice model components were borrowed from current-generation climate models +but they were reformulated on an Arakawa C-grid in order to match the MITgcm +oceanic grid and they were modified in many ways to permit efficient and +accurate automatic differentiation. This paper describes the MITgcm sea ice +model; it presents example Arctic and Antarctic results from a realistic, +eddy-permitting, global ocean and sea-ice configuration; it compares B-grid +and C-grid dynamic solvers in a regional Arctic configuration; and it presents +example results from coupled ocean and sea-ice adjoint-model integrations. + \end{abstract} \section{Introduction} \label{sec:intro} -more blabla - -\section{Model} -\label{sec:model} +The availability of an adjoint model as a powerful research +tool complementary to an ocean model was a major design +requirement early on in the development of the MIT general +circulation model (MITgcm) [Marshall et al. 1997a, +Marotzke et al. 1999, Adcroft et al. 2002]. It was recognized +that the adjoint permitted very efficient computation +of gradients of various scalar-valued model diagnostics, +norms or, generally, objective functions with respect +to external or independent parameters. Such gradients +arise in at least two major contexts. If the objective function +is the sum of squared model vs. obervation differences +weighted by e.g. the inverse error covariances, the gradient +of the objective function can be used to optimize this measure +of model vs. data misfit in a least-squares sense. One +is then solving a problem of statistical state estimation. +If the objective function is a key oceanographic quantity +such as meridional heat or volume transport, ocean heat +content or mean surface temperature index, the gradient +provides a complete set of sensitivities of this quantity +with respect to all independent variables simultaneously. + +References to existing sea-ice adjoint models, explaining that they are either +for simplified configurations, for ice-only studies, or for short-duration +studies to motivate the present work.
