Short summary
A complex thermodynamic sea ice model (HIGHTSI) is coupled with WRF to improve its simulation of surface temeprature and surface upward long-wave radiation flux over sea ice surface. HIGHTSI includes the ablation and accretion processes of sea ice and uses an interpolation method which can ensure the heat conservation during its integration. These allow the HIGHTSI to better resolve the energy balance in the sea ice, and the bias in sea ice temperature is reduced considerably.
