An idealized wave-ice interaction model without subgrid spatial or temporal discretizations

A new numerical implementation is proposed for a wave–ice interaction model. It is applied to an idealized transect geometry. Wave attenuation due to ice floes and wave-induced ice fracture are both included in the model. The new method alleviates the need for subgrid spatial or temporal discretizat...

Description
Summary:A new numerical implementation is proposed for a wave–ice interaction model. It is applied to an idealized transect geometry. Wave attenuation due to ice floes and wave-induced ice fracture are both included in the model. The new method alleviates the need for subgrid spatial or temporal discretizations, thereby facilitating future integration of wave–ice interactions into large-scale coupled models. Luke G.
