Explaining the patterns formed by ice floe interactions
[1] We provide a quantitative explanation of the patterns commonly observed during the collision of two floating ice sheets (ice floes): simple rafting, finger rafting, or the formation of a pressure ridge. In particular, we analyze the equilibrium configurations of the ice in each of the two types of rafting and show that these are only possible if the ice thickness is below a threshold value ...
متن کاملIce-Floe Simulation Viewer Tool
We are developing software to simulate the behaviour of sea ice in a floe on the ocean surface, including interactions with solid objects (e.g., ships). In order to interact with this simulation and to visualize the results, we are developing a tool that gives the user the ability to set up the initial conditions, run the simulation, and display the simulated icefloe data in sequence. Initial d...
متن کاملA Review on Sea Ice Floe Analysis
Sea ice mapping is one of the important applications of remote sensing technology. Remote sensing is safe navigation for ships where ice caps are form and it is essential to understand the climate conditions of the oceans. The main function of ice mapping is to generate the maps of sea ice according to their geographical location. This paper reviews most of the recent research work on Sea ice f...
متن کاملSea ice floe size distribution in the marginal ice zone: Theory and numerical experiments
To better describe the state of sea ice in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) with floes of varying thicknesses and sizes, both an ice thickness distribution (ITD) and a floe size distribution (FSD) are needed. In this work, we have developed a FSD theory that is coupled to the ITD theory of Thorndike et al. (1975) in order to explicitly simulate the evolution of FSD and ITD jointly. The FSD theory in...
متن کاملSea Ice Floe Detection and Classification using Adaptive Clustering
Detection and classification of sea ice floe is very important for understanding physical process in the polar regions. Important thing is to know the shapes, sizes and spatial distribution of ice floes for understanding the physical process. Several image processing algorithms have been applied to samples of sea ice images in order to extract useful information. In this paper we are proposing ...
