Analysis of Field Data for Wave Ice Interaction in the Arctic Marginal Ice Zone

Abstract

There are two goals in this project. One is to extend the data analysis to a region north of the Sikuliaq 2015 track, covering the pack ice zone, to determine the viscoelastic model parameters. The other is to combine the two dominant modes in the mode swap zone to obtain a smoothly varying wave speed and attenuation in the entire parameter space. This will remove the need to choose only one mode currently adopted in WW3, so that contribution of equally important two modes in the mode swap zone may both be accounted for. An updated module to be implemented in WW3 will be completed.
