Modeling the Floe-Size Distribution to Improve the Prediction of Sea Ice in the Marginal Seas
The long-term goal of this project is to improve prediction of sea ice in the marginal seas by simulating the evolution of the floe-size distribution in basin-scale, rheology-type sea ice models. Lateral ablation and sea ice mechanics depend on the size of floes and yet their distribution in present...

Summary: | The long-term goal of this project is to improve prediction of sea ice in the marginal seas by simulating the evolution of the floe-size distribution in basin-scale, rheology-type sea ice models. Lateral ablation and sea ice mechanics depend on the size of floes and yet their distribution in present-day models is assumed to be homogeneous in space and constant in time. |
