Monitoring of the Ice free Arctic
The interaction of water waves with sea ice has various implications involving interdisciplinary fields of research. Its range of influence extends from heat fluxes and water mixing at the ocean surface to land erosion, etc. This leads to the issue of potential feedback processes between waves and i...
