Ice-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 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 کامل15: MIZMAS: Modeling the Evolution of Ice Thickness and Floe Size Distributions in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas
Our long-term goal is to develop a robust, high-resolution coupled sea ice–ocean modeling and assimilation system that is capable of accurately predicting sea ice conditions in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas (CBS) on seasonal time scales. Our primary interest is the ability to realistically simulate the evolution of the multicategory ice thickness and floe size dis...
متن کاملExplaining 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 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...
