An Integrative Wave model for the Marginal Ice Zone based on a Rheological Parameterization
نویسنده
چکیده
1. To build a comprehensive wave-ice interaction mathematical framework for a wide range of ice conditions observable in the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ); 2. To identify a minimum set of rheological parameters that can reproduce all existing wave-ice interaction types; 3. To test the sensitivity of various parameters in the new wave-ice interaction model; 4. To relate physically detectable ice cover parameters from remote sensing to its rheological properties; 5. To establish a strategy for WW3 to implement the wave-ice interaction mechanisms; 6. To test the model performance and validate it using WW3.

For objective 1: Complete the viscoelastic theory. Key individuals are the PI and a PhD student. Task 1: Use an analytical method to determine the propagation of waves through a floating viscoelastic mat for a wide range of effective viscosity and elasticity parameters. This range should include all possible ice cover types in the MIZ. The outcome of this task is a direct relation between visco...
متن کامل13: Wave-ice interaction in the Marginal Ice Zone: toward a wave-ocean-ice coupled modeling system
Our main objective is to improve an operational model for wind-generated surface gravity waves (WAVEWATCH III ®) such that it can accurately predict the attenuation and scattering of waves by interaction with ice in the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ). The wave model physics developed here will later be part of an operational coupled model system, allowing feedback to ice, ocean, and atmospheric models...
متن کاملModelling wave-induced sea ice break-up in the marginal ice zone
A model of ice floe break-up under ocean wave forcing in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is proposed to investigate how floe size distribution (FSD) evolves under repeated wave break-up events. A three-dimensional linear model of ocean wave scattering by a finite array of compliant circular ice floes is coupled to a flexural failure model, which breaks a floe into two floes provided the two-dimensi...

– further our understanding of the hydrodynamical interactions between polar oceans and sea ice, especially with regard to the marginal ice zone (MIZ), i.e. the typically 10–100 km wide m ́elange of ice floes that connects open sea to the interior pack ice; – model the attenuation and spreading of directional seas within and in the waters adjoining MIZs, using a conservative, multiple wave scatt...

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, ...
