Abstract
- The paper presents the dynamical core of the new sea ice model SIMUG (Sea Ice Model on Unstructured Grid) on the A- and CD-types of unstructured triangular grids in the local-element basis on sphere. Three standardized box tests to reproduce the Linear Kinematic Features (LKFs), and the short-term forecast in the real Arctic Ocean geometry with the realistic atmosphere and ocean forcing demonstrate the model quality compared to other sea ice models like CICE, FESOM, MITgcm, and ICON-O. The distinctive features of the model presented are a wide choice of transport schemes, and the new numerical implementation with the serial and parallel C++ coding and INMOST, Ani2D, and Ani3D packages to deal with unstructured grids. Code profiling and scalability assessment are carried out. In general, the A-version of the ice drift model works faster, but has fewer degrees of freedom on the same grid. Due to the increase in the degrees of freedom, the model on the CD grid gives ultra-resolution of LKFs, but requires more strict conditions for stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
