abstract = "In a basic definition, the sea ice is resulted from the freezing
of the sea water. The growth is ruled by the energy balance on the
upper and lower surfaces of the sea ice. The freezing and melting
dynamics occurs with heat transfering throughout the mass of ice
from its center towards surface.Therefore, the numerical models
standing for the Sea Ice Thickness represent the ice column
divided in several layers, in order to calculate the thermal
conductivity between those layers. The objective of this study is
to identify the maximum number of layers required to represent the
Sea Ice Thickness in the Southern Ocean. The study area is on the
Weddell Sea (WS), located between latitudes 83°S/55°S and
longitudes 84°W/10°E. The simulations of Sea Ice Thickness, Snow
Thickness and Air Temperature were performed in 2009 to 2017 for
two distinct points on the WS, being the first denominated PT1
(classified as undefined, because of the presence or absence of
ice depending on the time of year in which data were acquired) and
Gekstaller (classified as permanent ice layer). For each point 20
simulations were realized. Daily flows, named Latent Heat,
Sensitive Heat, Long Wave Radiation, Shortwave Radiation and
Albedo from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction
(NCEP), were used as input data. In PT1 a greater variation in
radioactive closure was observed , and larger changes in Sea Ice
Thickness in relation to the point Gekstaller. In all PT1 layers,
high values of Snow Thickness, mainly in layers 1, 2, 3 and 4,
were obtained in the first years of. The model represented
reasonably well the Air Temperature in the two selected points,
being, the temperatures between 0 and -40°C in the Gekstaller
station, whereas they varied between 0 and -30°C in the PT1, as
this location is in higher latitudes. In addition, the model was
able to represent the seasonality of temperature in the simulated
points. The layer 1 in PT1 obtained lower Air Temperature values
in relation to the other layers, which led to a greater Sea Ice
Thickness in layer 1. As main conclusion, the punctual model
showed stability, with no great variations in the Sea Ice
Thickness in the five layers. At the Gekstaller point, which is
characterized by a permanent ice layer, the simulations did not
show great changes in the Sea Ice Thickness. This occurs because
snow serves as an insulator, as indicated by the melting rate in
this this region lower than the deposition rate.",
