Examination of Ice Ridging Methods Using Discrete Particles
The evolution of ice thickness distribution is examined using a number of Monte Carlo simulation strategies. The present paper extends the analysis of Thorndike (2000) to consider different ridging methods. Additionally, the thickness distribution is updated at regular time intervals, and taking int...
