Analysis of CMIP5 historicalsimulations Inverse relationship between Arctic sea ice and Fram Strait ice export considering long-term trends (1957-2005): 6 CMIP5 models with several simulations Ice export trend based on NCEP Langehaug, Geyer, Smedsrud, and Gao, Ocean Modelling, 2013
Predictability in the Nordic SeasOngoing analysisLangehaug, Gao, Eldevik, Lohmann, Matei • Decadal predictability will be assessed with CMIP5 hindcasts from: • MPI-ESM-LR • IPSL-CM5-LR • CNRM-CM5 • Preliminary results: • No robust prediction skill for the sea ice • Some peaks are reproduced (cf. box). • Future work: • Calculate predictive skill according to lead time. • Test predictability for SST and heat flux.
