Regional and Floe-Floe Ice Deformation

Abstract

LONG-TERM PROJECT GOALS. 1. Establish the scientific basis for the next generation regional sea-ice model. 2. Understand the space/time variability of wind forcing. OBJECTIVES. 1. Investigate the granular/plastic nature of sea ice, based on comparison of wind data, SAR ice motion data, and floe scale (<20 km) relative buoy motions. 2. Publish an article concerning the influence of scale on sea ice dynamics in EOS, Transactions of the AGU.
