= Description of the course =

The lecture will cover the thermodynamic coupling between the sea ice, the ocean, and the atmosphere. It is designed for master-level students with moderate knowledge in numerics, scientific programming, and sea ice physics. A conceptual model of the Arctic will be derived and simulation results will be analysed. For didactical reasons the model will be developed from scratch and kept as simple as possible, but complex enough to learn about the basic principles of the thermodynamic interaction between the ocean, the ice and the atmosphere for climatic, oceanographic and meteorological studies.

Compute the time evolution of the ocean mixed layer temperature ''T_ml(t)'' for different ''h_ml'', initial temperatures ''T_ml(t=0)'', and short wave insolation ''Q_SW''.

Estimate the typical time scale for stationarity and select appropriate time step ''delta_t'' for model integration.

Research questions

Compute the time evolution of the ocean mixed layer temperature T_ml(t) for different h_ml, initial temperatures T_ml(t=0), and short wave insolation Q_SW.

Estimate the typical time scale for stationarity and select appropriate time step delta_t for model integration.

Change insolation after the model has reached stationarity.

Lesson 2: Radiative fluxes

Radiative flux measurements are available from the Clouds and the Earth s Radiant Energy System (CERES) sensor. Zonally averaged gridded products will be used to validate flux parameterizations.
