Estimating the Sea Ice Compressive Strength from Satellite-Derived Sea Ice Drift and NCEP Reanalysis Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-derived sea ice drift maps and sea level pressure from reanalysis data are used to infer upper and lower bounds on the large-scale compressive strength of Arctic sea ice. To this end, the two datasets are searched ...
Modeling Sea Ice as a Granular Material, Including the Dilatancy Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A dynamic sea ice model based on granular material rheology is presented. The sea ice model is coupled to both a mixed layer ocean model and a one-layer thermodynamic atmospheric model, which allows for an ice albedo ...
Modeling the Effects of Wind Redistribution on the Snow Mass Budget of Polar Sea Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model of blowing snow specifically designed for sea ice environments is presented. This new model is used to quantify the snow mass lost because of blowing snow into leads, blowing snow sublimation, ...
Development of the Pan-Arctic Snowfall Reconstruction: New Land-Based Solid Precipitation Estimates for 1940–99
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new product, the Pan-Arctic Snowfall Reconstruction (PASR), is developed to address the problem of cold season precipitation gauge biases for the 1940?99 period. The method used to create the PASR is different from methods ...
