Abstract

The impact of assimilating weekly CryoSat ‐2 sea ice thickness data together with daily SMOS sea ice thickness and daily SSMIS sea ice concentration data on the sea ice fields of a coupled sea ice–ocean model of the Arctic Ocean is investigated. The sea‐ice model is based on the Massachusetts Instit...
