Welcome to the CICE Consortium!

This page is under construction, as is the code, documentation, and testing infrastructure

See https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/About-Us/README.md for basic information about the Consortium.
The original CICE web site is still available here but is expected to disappear, imminently.

Organization and Governance

Documents governing the Consortium and its processes are available from the About-Us repository. Our open-source codes are covered by a standard 3-clause BSD license.

Code repositories

• https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE
• https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/Icepack
• https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE-svn-trunk

The column physics portion of the code is 'Icepack'. The rest of the CICE model, including infrastructure and the dynamical core but not Icepack, is contained in the CICE repository as 'CICEcore'. CICE includes Icepack as a git submodule.

Code documentation is included within each code repository, and links to data and additional information can be found on the wiki pages of each repository.
