Purpose
The main goal of this project is to validated the Massachusetts Institute of Technology General Circulation Model (MITgcm) and the Canadian Lake Ice Model (CLIMo) so that the ice cover of Lake Erie at large and small scales can be simulated. Note, that this research is part of the project titled "Evaluation of ice models in Large Lakes using Three Dimensional Coupled Hydrodynamic-Ice Models", which is a Pillar 1-2 project under the Global Water Futures (GWF) Program funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF).
Abstract
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology General Circulation Model (MITgcm) is a 3D ocean model with the ability to model sea ice, while the Canadian Lake Ice Model (CLIMo) is a 1D lake ice model. All input data for both models will be collected from online via US Environmental Protection Agency and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) databases. The modelled output simulated data from the MITgcm and CLIMo will be in the form of netCDF files. All data analysis will be completed using the MATLAB and Python programming languages. All codes will be made available on a private GitHub. Interested individuals may contact the group for access to these codes and data.
