- Polar Ice Prediction System (PIPS)
> Dynamic/thermodynamic sea ice model based on formulation of Hibler and
Semtner
> Consists of conservation equations for ice momentum, concentration, and
thickness which are coupled with ice rheology and ice-strength formulation
> Covers central Arctic basin and most of the marginal seas
> Driven by NOGAPS heat fluxes and surface wind stresses
> Model run once per day, providing 120 hour forecasts of ice drift,
concentration, and thickness
> Model updated weekly by NAVICECEN analysis of satellite-based ice
concentration
