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).本项目的核心目标是验证麻省理工学院通用环流模型（MITgcm）与加拿大湖冰模型（CLIMo），以实现伊利湖冰盖的大、小尺度模拟。需说明的是，本研究隶属于题为《基于三维耦合水动力-冰模型的大型湖泊冰模型评估》的项目，该项目是由加拿大首席研究卓越基金（CFREF）资助的全球水未来（GWF）计划下的支柱1-2项目。
