An emergent sea ice floe size distribution in a global coupled ocean‐sea ice model

LA Roach, C Horvat, SM Dean… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Sea ice is composed of discrete floes, which range in size across orders of magnitude. Here
we present a model that represents the joint distribution of sea ice thickness and floe size …

Changes of the Arctic marginal ice zone during the satellite era

RJ Rolph, DL Feltham, D Schröder - The Cryosphere, 2020 - tc.copernicus.org
Many studies have shown a decrease in Arctic sea ice extent. It does not logically follow,
however, that the extent of the marginal ice zone (MIZ), here defined as the area of the …

[HTML][HTML] Brief communication: Pancake ice floe size distribution during the winter expansion of the Antarctic marginal ice zone

A Alberello, M Onorato, L Bennetts, M Vichi… - The …, 2019 - tc.copernicus.org
The size distribution of pancake ice floes is calculated from images acquired during a
voyage to the Antarctic marginal ice zone in the winter expansion season. Results show that …

Towards a coupled model to investigate wave–sea ice interactions in the Arctic marginal ice zone

G Boutin, C Lique, F Ardhuin, C Rousset… - The …, 2020 - tc.copernicus.org
The Arctic marginal ice zone (MIZ), where strong interactions between sea ice, ocean and
atmosphere take place, is expanding as the result of ongoing sea ice retreat. Yet, state-of …
