Abstract:

Based on the focus of sea ice modelling in the simulation of climate, this paper overviews the status and tendency of international sea ice models and the scientific problems of sea ice physical processes in the present ice modelling which need field investigations and experimental researches at first. Then the Chinese Second National Arctic Expedition in 2003 is introduced simply. At last, 6 viewpoints are suggested based on the China National observation and study ability, the international tendencies of sea ice science, the occupied sea ice data in the world and the real phenomena of polar sea ice. These viewpoints are hoped to be the future field and laboratory study of Arctic sea ice for the purpose of China polar sea ice theories and simulations.
