Strong and highly variable push of ocean waves on Southern Ocean sea ice

Southern Ocean sea ice plays a key role in regulating the uptake of carbon and heat by the global ocean. In this context, ocean waves have a strong influence, including ice break-up and pancake formation. These processes explain large differences in sea-ice properties between Arctic and Antarctic. W...
