Abstract: nalytic solutions of a mechanical sea ice model are computed in idealized configurations. They are then used to study the properties of this model. It classically assumes that the ice behaves at large scale as an isotropic ...

Abstract: Seasonal predictability of the minimum sea ice extent (SIE) in the Laptev Sea is investigated using winter coastal divergence as a predictor. From February to May, the new ice forming in wind-driven coastal polynyas grows ...

Abstract: In this study, the method of self-organizing maps (SOMs) is used with NCEP?NCAR reanalysis data to advance the continuum perspective of Northern Hemisphere teleconnection patterns and to shed light on the secular eastward ...

Abstract: Large-eddy simulations (Δx = Δz = 1 m) are used to examine vertical ocean heat fluxes driven by mechanical and buoyancy forcing across idealized sea ice leads. Forcing parameters approximate conditions from a shear event ...
