Short summary
Regional sea ice models often struggle to represent sea ice near model domain boundaries, where errors can accumulate over time. We implemented and tested a method that gradually adjusts simulated sea ice toward prescribed conditions while preserving a realistic evolution of the ice cover. Experiments in the Arctic and Northeast Pacific show improved sea ice simulations and ocean surface conditions, providing a practical tool for regional forecasting and research applications.
