Evaluating the Discrete Element Method as a Tool for Predicting the Seasonal Evolution of the MIZ

Abstract

The goal of this work is to evaluate the utility of the discrete element method (DEM) in (a) advancing the understanding of the dynamic and thermodynamic processes governing the seasonal evolution of the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and (b) forecasting conditions in the MIZ in support of an anticipated increase in operational requirements.
