Wave-Ice Interaction in the Marginal Ice Zone: Toward a Wave-Ocean-Ice Coupled Modeling System
The WAVEWATCH III model (Tolman 1991, Tolman et al. 2002, Tolman 2009) is a phase-averaged wave model solved by integrating the wave action conservation equation. Local rates of change of wave spectral density is determined by advection in four dimensions (two geographic and two spectral dimensions) and source terms representing various dynamic processes, such as energy transfer from the wind, ...
متن کاملGranular flow in the marginal ice zone.
The region of sea ice near the edge of the sea ice pack is known as the marginal ice zone (MIZ), and its dynamics are complicated by ocean wave interaction with the ice cover, strong gradients in the atmosphere and ocean and variations in sea ice rheology. This paper focuses on the role of sea ice rheology in determining the dynamics of the MIZ. Here, sea ice is treated as a granular material w...
متن کاملFrost flower formation on sea ice and lake ice
[1] Frost flowers are clusters of ice crystals found on freshly formed sea ice and occasionally on frozen lakes. They belong to a class of vapour-related phenomena that includes freezing fog, hoar frost and dew. It has hitherto been supposed that they form by condensation from a supersaturated atmosphere or from water wicked up through porous sea ice. Here we show that they can form on solid, p...
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 کاملIce-Type Characterization in a Marginal Ice Zone Using RADARSAT and Ice-Profiling Sonar: Tools for Structural Design and Navigation Planning in Ice Infested Waters
Advanced versions of moored sub-surface ULS (upward-looking sonar) instrumentation, originally developed (Melling et al., 1995) to provide high resolution mappings of ice draft in mobile pack ice have been a prominent component of recent hydrocarbon exploration and production activities in ice covered waters. In each case, data gathered by adjacent iceand acoustic Doppler current-profilers have...
