15: An Integrative Wave Model for the Marginal Ice Zone Based on a Rheological Parameterization
نویسنده
چکیده
For objective 1: Complete the viscoelastic theory. Key individuals are the PI and a PhD student. Task 1: Use an analytical method to determine the propagation of waves through a floating viscoelastic mat for a wide range of effective viscosity and elasticity parameters. This range should include all possible ice cover types in the MIZ. The outcome of this task is a direct relation between viscoelastic properties and the wave dispersion, including the group velocity and the attenuation. Task 2: Obtain the energy flux between different regions of ice covers via analytical solutions, i.e. the transmission and reflection energy between different viscoelastic mats.

13: Wave-ice interaction in the Marginal Ice Zone: toward a wave-ocean-ice coupled modeling system
Our main objective is to improve an operational model for wind-generated surface gravity waves (WAVEWATCH III ®) such that it can accurately predict the attenuation and scattering of waves by interaction with ice in the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ). The wave model physics developed here will later be part of an operational coupled model system, allowing feedback to ice, ocean, and atmospheric models...
متن کاملModelling wave-induced sea ice break-up in the marginal ice zone
A model of ice floe break-up under ocean wave forcing in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is proposed to investigate how floe size distribution (FSD) evolves under repeated wave break-up events. A three-dimensional linear model of ocean wave scattering by a finite array of compliant circular ice floes is coupled to a flexural failure model, which breaks a floe into two floes provided the two-dimensi...
