In the context of evaluation of sea-ice models, among its immediate priorities CliC should consider:
(1) Assessing and documenting uncertainties of observationally based and reanalyzed data used in evaluation of sea-ice models and particularly sea-ice (and other cryosphere) components of Earth System models. (2) Contributing to planning and designing the CMIP6.

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...
