Wave-Ice Interaction and the Marginal Ice Zone

The main thrust of our work in this project is to design and build a large number of wave-measuring buoys, subsequently using them to acquire an unprecedented volume of in-ice directional wave data. These data will be used by the modelling community to parameterise and understand the influence of in...

Description
Summary:The main thrust of our work in this project is to design and build a large number of wave-measuring buoys, subsequently using them to acquire an unprecedented volume of in-ice directional wave data. These data will be used by the modelling community to parameterise and understand the influence of incoming ocean waves on sea ice, and the effect of the ice on the waves (attenuation, spreading).
