Waves and Fetch in the Marginal Ice Zone

The long-term goal is to improve prediction of the arctic Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) by improving basic understanding of the interaction between waves, sea ice, and open water (i.e., fetch). The primary objective is to improve wave source/sink parameterizations by directly measuring the growth and diss...

Description
Summary:The long-term goal is to improve prediction of the arctic Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) by improving basic understanding of the interaction between waves, sea ice, and open water (i.e., fetch). The primary objective is to improve wave source/sink parameterizations by directly measuring the growth and dissipation of waves in the MIZ. The secondary objective is to develop a surface wave climatology of the arctic ocean and the relation to the seasonal MIZ.
