Abstract: In this study, we mainly introduce two salinity parameterization schemes used in Sea Ice Simulator (SIS): isosaline scheme and salinity profile scheme. Comparing the model equations in isosaline scheme with that in salinity profile scheme, there is one different term between the two schemes named salinity different term. The thermodynamic effect of the salinity difference term on sea ice thickness and sea ice concentration showed that: in the freezing processes from November to next May, the sea ice tempera...
