Propagation and Directional Scattering of Ocean Waves in the Marginal Ice Zone and Neighboring Seas
Abstract
This project is designed to better understand the sea state and boundary layer physics of the emerging Arctic Ocean, by addressing aspects of the first three points in the ONR DRI on Sea State Boundary Layer Physics of the Emerging Arctic, i.e. 1. Identify and parameterize factors affecting the spatial and temporal variability of sea state, and improve forecasting of waves on the open ocean and in the marginal ice zone; 2. Develop an improved theory of wave attenuation/scattering in the MIZ sea ice cover; 3. Use wave scattering theory directly in an integrated Arctic system model, and include ice floe bending and fracture, for use in Arctic system models.
