The influence of stochastic fluctuations in the atmosphere and in the ocean caused by different occasional phenomena (noises) on dynamic processes of sea ice growth with a mushy layer is studied. It is shown that atmospheric temperature variances substantially increase the sea ice thickness, whereas dispersion variations of turbulent flows in the ocean to a great extent decrease the ice content produced by false bottom evolution. © 2013 Springer Basel.
