An Arctic Ice/Ocean Coupled Model with Wave Interactions

Abstract

The overarching long-term goal of Project N00014-131-0279 remains as defined in the original proposal, namely to include two-dimensional (2D) ocean surface wave interactions with sea ice in a contemporary 3D Arctic ice/ocean model. To accomplish this primary goal, the objectives listed in the next section are required to be achieved along the way. Consequential to the primary goal, we aim to develop an improved operational ice/ocean model for the Arctic Basin, built upon a recently published model assembled for the Fram Strait region of the Greenland Sea that has collinear wave trains interacting with the ice; improve the forecasting capacities of contemporary Arctic climate models.
