Description
Summary:To account for uncertainty in the atmospheric forcing and initial conditions (ICs), we run ensembles of five members for each year (see online supplemental material). Since the skill of CTRL simulations depends in part on the realism of the atmospheric forcing, it is desirable to know that the ocean-sea ice model responds in a reasonable way to the forcing used in this study. Because winds in the model only impact the sea ice mass budget through transport and divergence, we exclude the possibil- ity that they have contributed dynamically to the 2014 record high.
