Reasons for model differences
• Different states of natural high-latitude climate variability modes
• Variations in sea ice extent in CTRL integration
• Actual winter sea ice extent in transient integration

• Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM; Bleck et al., 1992) - a mixture of versions 2.6 to 2.8 is used• Dynamic-thermodynamic sea ice modules included• Reference pressure at the surface• 24 model layers with potential density ranging from 23.54 to 28.10• Stretched grids with focus in the North Atlantic-Arctic region (Bentsen et al., 1999)• Daily atmospheric forcing• Daily forcing from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (Kalnay et al., 1996)• Period 1948 to present
• Many integrations conducted: - min 80, 40 and 20 km resolution, differing by different initial conditions only

BCM-configuration, ARPEGE+MICOM• The atmospheric grid (red dots) has a resolution of T63 (2.8° by 2.8°), L31• The ocean grid (blue dots) has a resolution of 0.8° by 2.4° at the Equator,
gradually transforming to approximate square grid cells towards the poles (Mercator projection), L24 (MICOM v2.6-2.8 + dyn/thermodyn sea ice)

Sea ice module
• Old: Treatment of heat fluxes in atmosphere coupled/uncoupled mode were different
• New: Heat fluxes split between solar and non-solar components, with temperature-dependent tendency term for non-solar component
• New: Improved conservation of heat and fresh water
• New: WENO advection scheme
• New: Bug fixes

Sea ice module in general
• Viscous-plastic rheology based on Hibler III (1979), based on the implementation of Harder (1996)
• 1 snow layer, 1 ice layer, linear temp profile in each layer
• Salinity-dependent freezing temperature
• Each grid cells accept ice and open water
• Metric terms included
