Results from the implementation of the Elastic Viscous Plastic sea ice rheology in HadCM3
We present results of an implementation of the Elastic Viscous Plastic (EVP) sea ice dynamics scheme into the Hadley Centre coupled ocean-atmosphere climate model HadCM3. Although the large-scale simulation of sea ice in HadCM3 is quite good with this model, the lack of a full dynamical model leads to errors in the detailed representation of sea ice and limits our confidence in its future predi...
متن کاملUsing the material-point method to model sea ice dynamics
[1] The material-point method (MPM) is a numerical method for continuum mechanics that combines the best aspects of Lagrangian and Eulerian discretizations. The material points provide a Lagrangian description of the ice that models convection naturally. Thus properties such as ice thickness and compactness are computed in a Lagrangian frame and do not suffer from errors associated with Euleria...
متن کاملScaling Properties of Arctic Sea Ice Deformation in a High‐Resolution Viscous‐Plastic Sea Ice Model and in Satellite Observations
Sea ice models with the traditional viscous-plastic (VP) rheology and very small horizontal grid spacing can resolve leads and deformation rates localized along Linear Kinematic Features (LKF). In a 1 km pan-Arctic sea ice-ocean simulation, the small-scale sea ice deformations are evaluated with a scaling analysis in relation to satellite observations of the Envisat Geophysical Processor System...
متن کاملModeling Arctic sea ice with an efficient plastic solution
A computationally efficient numerical method is developed for solving sea ice momentum equations that employ a nonlinear viscous-plastic rheology. The method is based on an alternating direction implicit (ADI) technique that involves a direct solution of the momentum equations. This method is therefore more computationally efficient than those employing an iterative procedure in solving the equ...
متن کاملNumerical MPM Solution of Sea Ice Dynamics with an Elastic-Decohesive Constitutive Model
A numerical technique called the material-point method (MPM) shows promise for treating problems of ice dynamics. MPM is based on particle-in-cell technology and thus uses a Lagrangian set of material points with associated mass, position, velocity, stress, and other material parameters, and a background mesh where the momentum equation is solved. This method avoids the convection errors associ...
