Abstract: In order to develop sea ice forecast, connecting a sea ice model with an atmospheric model is needed. The ice model used in this research is a dynamic model with three levels: level ice, rubble and open water. The marine wind fields are from three atmospheric models, the operational numerical forecasting model of marine winds used in National Research Center for Marine Envirorunental Forecasts (NRCMEF) of China, the TI06 spectrwn model developed by National Meteorology Center of China (NMCC), and an numeric weather predictive model from Japan Meteorology Agency (JMA). The outputs from the three connected models are carefully checked and compared. The results of the three connected models are all satisfactory. Further research are needed to decide which one should be used for operational sea ice forecasts.
