Predicting the Motions of Drifting Open Pack Ice
Abstract Methods based on remotely-sensed data are needed to predict motions of drifting open pack ice and to determine sea-ice parameters associated with these motions. The method presented here is able: (a) to predict the motions of groups of wind-driven detached ice floes over periods of 12, 36,...

Summary: | Abstract Methods based on remotely-sensed data are needed to predict motions of drifting open pack ice and to determine sea-ice parameters associated with these motions. The method presented here is able: (a) to predict the motions of groups of wind-driven detached ice floes over periods of 12, 36, and 60 h; (b) to determine sea-ice thickness and the surface and sub-surface drag coefficients associated with these motions. |
