PISM - Parallel Ice Sheet Model#
Contact person
Description#
Ice in the Earth system model refers to all components of the cryosphere: ice and snow on land, glaciers and permafrost in soils and the deep sea.
Ice has an important influence on various time scales on physical, biological and social systems of the Earth. Models of the cryosphere simulate the past and future movement and evolution of glaciers and other components.
The sea ice of the natESM-System is included in the ocean modell ICON-O.
The Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) is a computer program used in climate science to simulate the past and future of glaciers and ice sheets, including the Earth’s two large ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.
