International audience The drift and deformation of sea ice is a key aspect of the overall state of the ice cover. Large-scale drift redistributes ice, affecting where it forms, melts, and is collected, while small scale deformation opens up leads and builds ridges, which influence virtually all interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and ice in ice-covered areas.
