SWIFT Observations in the Arctic Sea State DRI

The objectives are to: develop a sea state climatology for the Arctic Ocean, improve wave forecasting in the presence of sea ice, improve theory of wave attenuation/scattering in the sea ice cover, apply wave ice interactions directly in integrated arctic system models, and understand heat and mass...

Description
Summary:The objectives are to: develop a sea state climatology for the Arctic Ocean, improve wave forecasting in the presence of sea ice, improve theory of wave attenuation/scattering in the sea ice cover, apply wave ice interactions directly in integrated arctic system models, and understand heat and mass fluxes in the air sea ice system.
