Modeling Mixed Layer Flow Under Multiple Leads in Sea Ice

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to obtain a better understanding of convectively driven mixed layer ocean circulations under multiple leads in sea ice. This improved understanding will lead to better air-sea heat flux parameterizations in ice covered regions for larger scale Arctic climate models.
