Seasonality and long‐term trend of Arctic Ocean surface stress in a model

T Martin, M Steele, J Zhang - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
A numerical ocean sea‐ice model is used to demonstrate that Arctic sea ice retreat affects

A Maxwell elasto-brittle rheology for sea ice modelling

V Dansereau, J Weiss, P Saramito, P Lattes - The Cryosphere, 2016 - tc.copernicus.org
A new rheological model is developed that builds on an elasto-brittle (EB) framework used
for sea ice and rock mechanics, with the intent of representing both the small elastic …
