Comprehensive model of the White Sea: hydrothermodynamics of water and sea ice

Abstract

The numerical model of large water object with ice is described on the White sea as an example.We discuss agreement between calculated fields and measurements and reproduction of the main structures.The model is shown to be able to answer some practical questions.
