Dynamics of Ocean Waves in a Continuous Sea Ice Cover

Waves and swell incident on a continuous cover of sea ice can become coupled to the ice and propagate as flexural-gravity waves. These ice-coupled waves are determined by a dispersion equation and attenuation coefficient which depend critically on the material properties of the sea ice. Two models o...
