Abstract

Appropriate initial conditions are essential for accurate forecasts of sea ice conditions in the Arctic. We present a prototype of an assimilation and forecast system, where a new sea ice thickness data set based on the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite data and sea ice concentration data (SSMIS) are assimilated with a local Singular Evolutive Interoplated Kalman (SEIK) [3] filter. The system is run for 3 months in the transition between autumn and winter 2011/2012. Forecasts of different length are evaluated and compared to independent in-situ data.
