The summer Arctic sea ice cover has retreated by about 50% in the last 30 years. This rate of change is unprecedented in Earth’s history and is at least partly due to an anthropogenic impact. It has critical implications for the climate worldwide. Earth system models are parameterized computer models that aim at simulating and projecting global climate and its change. Experiments with these models under common forcings and protocols are coordinated as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). However, uncertainties in CMIP simulations of the Arctic climate are large in both, short- and long-term projections. This thesis investigates how observations can be used to improve Arctic climate simulations by analyzing and evaluatin...
