Stakeholders update from the International Association for Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), presented by Charles Fierz at the 8th CliC Scientific Steering Group meeting in Innsbruck, Austria 2012.
The atmosphere-ocean boundary layer in which sea ice resides includes many complex processes that require a more realistic treatment in GCMs, particularly as models move toward full earth system descriptions. The primary purpose of the workshop was to define and discuss such coupled processes...
