Sea Ice Model for Marginal Ice Zone

Abstract

The objective of the work is for Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA) in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to develop a frazil/pancake model suitable for use by the National Ice Center (NIC) in the marginal ice zone. The ice analyst/forecasters at NIC currently use many kinds of data to analyze and forecast of ice conditions near the ice edge in regions of interest. The model (to be used as a tool) developed in this project will aid in ice analysis and forecasting. This project has been stopped and therefore NIC will not get the new tool.
