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 ...
