Abstract:The increasing movement and deformation of Arctic sea ice cover results
in pronounced drag sheltering effects behind sea ice pressure ridges.
This needs to be accounted for in the parameterization of the form drag
of ridges, thereby posing a challenge to evaluate the ice–ocean dynamic
feedback. Laboratory experiments were conducted in a water tank to
explore the sheltering effect between adjacent ridges of various
geometries. The form drag forces on the keel models were measured, and
the particle image velocim… Show more
