Sea ice thermodynamics are based on the zero-layer model of Semtner(1976), with the inclusion of an ice concentration parameter A after Hibler(1979).... Atmospheric surface fluxes and temperatures are calculated separately over the ice and the leads, with a linear temperature profile assumed in the ice interior. Shortwave radiation does not penetrate the ice interior, but does warm the ocean where there are leads, just as it would at open ocean grid squares.
