The Effect of Tensile Strength in the Arctic Ice Pack

2001
The ice pack covering northern seas is composed of an aggregate of thick ridged and rafted ice, undeformed ice, and open water. Existing ice-ocean models of the Arctic ice pack are large-scale continuum models that use a plastic yield surface to characterize the constitutive behavior of the pack. An alternative approach, which captures far more detail,

Winter Sightings of Marine Mammals in Arctic Pack Ice

ARCTIC, 1987
There is limited information about the winter distribution of some arctic marine mammals. In February-March 1976 six species of marine mammals were sighted in the pack ice of Baffin Bay and Davis Strait. Hooded seals were sighted along the ice edge in February, but in late March adults with pups were seen.

Observations of internal gravity waves under the Arctic pack ice

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1987
Internal gravity waves measured under the Arctic pack ice were strikingly different from measurements at lower latitudes. The total wave energy, integrated over the internal wave frequency band, was lower by a factor of 0.03–0.07, and the spectral slope at high frequency was nearly −1 in contrast to the − 2 observed at lower latitudes.

The effects of individual ridging events on the ice thickness distribution in the Arctic ice pack

Cold Regions Science and Technology, 1996
Abstract The sea ice thickness distribution in the polar oceans evolves in response to both dynamic and thermodynamic forcing. The variable thickness of the ice cover is created by deformation, that simultaneously causes formation of thick ice through ridge building and thin ice through lead creation.

Bio-physical oceanographic interactions at the edge of the Arctic ice pack

Journal of Marine Systems, 1991
Abstract About 7% of the world ocean is subject to the seasonal advance and retreat of sea ice. Physical processes at ice edges, interacting with biological phenomena, have been observed to promote phytoplankton blooms in both the Arctic (e.g., Bering and Greenland Seas) and the Antarctic.

Melting, freezing and dynamics of Arctic sea ice: pack ice versus marginal ice zone 

As the summer Arctic sea ice extent has retreated, the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is becoming a larger fraction of the ice cover. The MIZ is defined as the region of the ice cover that is influenced by waves and for convenience here is defined as the region of the ice cover between sea ice concentrations (SIC) of 15 % to 80 %.We use model simulations to ...
