Granular flow in the marginal ice zone.
The region of sea ice near the edge of the sea ice pack is known as the marginal ice zone (MIZ), and its dynamics are complicated by ocean wave interaction with the ice cover, strong gradients in the atmosphere and ocean and variations in sea ice rheology. This paper focuses on the role of sea ice rheology in determining the dynamics of the MIZ. Here, sea ice is treated as a granular material w...
متن کاملWave-Ice Interaction in the Marginal Ice Zone: Toward a Wave-Ocean-Ice Coupled Modeling System
The WAVEWATCH III model (Tolman 1991, Tolman et al. 2002, Tolman 2009) is a phase-averaged wave model solved by integrating the wave action conservation equation. Local rates of change of wave spectral density is determined by advection in four dimensions (two geographic and two spectral dimensions) and source terms representing various dynamic processes, such as energy transfer from the wind, ...
متن کاملHolocene evolution of the western Greenland Ice Sheet: Assessing geophysical ice-sheet models with geological reconstructions of ice-margin change
Geophysical ice-sheet models are used to predict future ice-sheet dimensions and, in turn, these projections help estimate the magnitude of eustatic sea-level rise. Before models can confidently predict icesheet behavior, they must be validated by being able to duplicate the geological record of ice-sheet change. Here, we review geological records of Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) change, with emph...
متن کاملWaves and fetch in the Marginal Ice Zone
The technical approach is to use Surface Wave Instrument Floats with Tracking (SWIFT) buoys to measure waves, winds, and turbulence at the air-sea-ice interface (Thomson, 2012). The SWIFT deployments were successfully completed during the summer of 2014. These seasonal SWIFT measurements are placed in context using mutliyear subsurface Acoustic Wave And Current (AWAC) moorings and regional WAVE...
متن کاملThe effect of the north-east ice stream on the Greenland ice sheet in changing climates
The northeast Greenland ice stream (NEGIS) was discovered as a large fast-flow feature of the Greenland ice sheet by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaginary of the ERS-1 satellite. In this study, the NEGIS is implemented in the dy-namic/thermodynamic, large-scale ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS (Simulation Code for 5 POLythermal Ice Sheets). In the first step, we simulate the evolution of the ice sh...
