Article Synopsis
- Forecasts of Arctic sea ice drift for summer 2014 were generated using the MIZMAS model, based on atmospheric data from CFSv2, and validated against drifting buoys and other observations.
- The model showed promising results, with root mean square (RMS) errors for ice speed significantly lower than those using climatological data, indicating improved accuracy in predicting ice movement.
- Adjustments to model parameters could optimize the predictions further, enhancing the likelihood of successfully tracking targets in sea ice with high-resolution images over both 24-hour and 48-hour forecasts.
