Implementation of Sea Ice in the Wave Model Swan

Abstract

The Naval Research Laboratory has implemented sea ice in SWAN, which is one of the two models used for operational prediction of wind-generated ocean waves by the U.S. Navy. This report describes the methods and implementation. The associated, new user commands are also described. The new code is verified using idealized test cases, and is found to perform as expected. Validation against observational data will be performed and reported separately.
