Validation of the Ice Models over Lake Erie

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).
