MODELLING OF ICE GROWTH AND TRANSPORT ON A REGIONAL SCALE
Numerical modelling of ice growth and transport on regional scales such as lakes, estuaries, or coastal seas can provide crucial input for the planning and design of offshore structures in arctic, sub-arctic, or even mid-latitude regions. It is in these regions that the total loading of ice on infra...
