Abstract: An elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) model for sea ice dynamics has recently been proposed as a computationally efficient alternative to the viscous-plastic (VP) model widely in use. The EVP model features a fully explicit ...

Abstract: The standard model for sea ice dynamics treats the ice pack as a visco?plastic material that flows plastically under typical stress conditions but behaves as a linear viscous fluid where strain rates are small and the ice ...

Abstract: A coupled global climate model is used to evaluate processes that determine the equilibrium location of the sea-ice edge and its climatological annual cycle. The extent to which the wintertime ice edge departs from a ...

Abstract: The standard way in which the sea-ice dynamics equation is used in models assumes that the wind stress and ocean drag do not depend on the sea-ice concentration. It is demonstrated that this assumption is inconsistent with ...

Abstract: he loss of Arctic sea ice has emerged as a leading signal of global warming. This, together with acknowledged impacts on other components of the Earth system, has led to the term ?the new Arctic.? Global coupled climate ...
