Modelling of the coupled system ocean / atmosphere / sea ice We shall study the dynamics of the coupled system ocean / atmosphere / sea ice by conducting numerical simulations. The experiments will be carried out with the coupled model ECHAM5 / C-HOPE. The following questions are central to the project: 1.) Understanding of interannual to multidecadel variability 2.) Prediction of this variability 3.) Paleoclimatic applications 4.) Anthropogenic climate change simulations These simulations will be carried out in ensemble mode.
