Ice Breakup Controls Dissipation of Wind Waves Across Southern Ocean Sea Ice
International audience • Wind-waves attenuate across the Antarctic sea ice with a narrow directional distribution • Scattering of waves by ice floes plays a negligible role in wave attenuation • Observed wave attenuation is consistent with ice break-up modulating the dissipation strength
