R&D 100 winner of the day: CICE

By Heather Hall | May 20, 2022

Proposed designs of MURMUR’s mobile display in Scene View (left) and Detection View (right). Scene View marks the location of the phone with a white star. All detections are marked by stars whose color conveys whether the detected human is breathing normally, hyperventilating, or hypoventilating. The yellow footer bar indicates the percentage of the scene that has been scanned by MURMUR, the total number of detections, and the number of detections that aren’t breathing normally. By touching a particular star, the user navigates to Detection View, which provides additional information about the detection, such as their GPS coordinates, the number of detections at that location, their depth, their breathing rate, and a graph of the breathing signal.

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s CICE* is a computational model that represents changes to sea ice and its interactions with the polar environment and ecosystems. CICE and its support infrastructure are the global standard for sea ice modeling across scales for multiple applications, including scientific research, climate modeling, forecasting and operations planning.

Polar sea ice is a critical element in moderating the global climate – its high reflectivity reduces heating by solar radiation, keeping our planet cooler. Sea ice also is fundamental for polar ecosystems, sheltering and feeding algae, the foundation for the polar food web. Predicting changes in sea ice’s location is essential for safe maritime operations and commerce. With research indicating sea ice is becoming more erratic, the need for accurate predictions is even more urgent.

Because of its versatile design and open-source framework, CICE’s technology underpins most sea ice models available today. Recent innovations such as landfast ice and Icepack’s unique modularity, hydrology, ecosystem and floe size distribution allow for more extensive, precise predictions of sea ice and the impact it has on local and global environments.
