An Evaluation of Sea Ice Deformation and Its Spatial Characteristics from the Regional Arctic System Model

The Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) is used to investigate the process and frequency of extreme sea ice shear deformation events resulting in pycnocline upwelling due to Ekman pumping as described in McPhee et al. (2005). RASM is a fully coupled land, atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean model with hi...
