Wave scattering at the sea-ice/ice-shelf transition with other applications
We present a mathematical model that describes how ice-coupled (flexural-gravity) waves traveling beneath a uniform, floating sea-ice sheet, defined over $(-\infty,0)$, propagate into a second ice sheet $(l,\infty)$ of different thickness by way of an arbitrarily defined transition region of finite...

We present a mathematical model that describes how ice-coupled (flexural-gravity) waves traveling beneath a uniform, floating sea-ice sheet, defined over $(-\infty,0)$, propagate into a second ice sheet $(l,\infty)$ of different thickness by way of an arbitrarily defined transition region of finite width $(0,l)$. Each ice sheet is represented as an Euler–Bernoulli thin plate with a prescribed thickness and material properties, either or both of which vary across the transition. The most familiar application of this geometry is to sea-ice abutting an ice-shelf—a common occurrence found in the waters around Antarctica and parts of the Arctic or to sea-ice skirting sikussak—the band of extremely thick coastal fast ice that can form when local ice is sheltered from destructive storms.
