WP3 aims to improve representation of boundary layer processes in NorESM.

1. Explore effects on surface Arctic temperature and stratification associated with coupled ocean and atmosphere boundary-layer processes in the key region and improve their representation.

2. Explore effects of bottom topography and sea ice in the parameterisation of unresolved high latitude ocean eddy transport.

3. Identify and remove numerical modes in the dynamical ocean-sea ice coupling in NorESM.
