CICE: The Los Alamos Sea Ice Model

LACC-06-012

CICE

CICE is a numerical model of sea ice. It is designed to be a component of global climate models, although it can also be used in standalone mode for sea ice simulations. The code is freely available, along with detailed documentation, at http://oceans11.lanl.gov/trac/CICE. The web site provides an interface for browsing the code, submitting and tracking tickets on code issues, and other information.
