Sea ice deformation in Fram Strait - Comparison of CICE simulations withn analysis and classification of airborne remote-sensing data

摘要

Complex surface topography is a characteristic especially of older sea ice, and an observed loss of older or multiyear sea ice in the Arctic indicates an imminent transition of the Arctic ice cover from perennial to seasonal. Prediction of this transition in the Arctic system is one of today's "big science" questions. The objective of this paper is to compare model output and data analysis, toward addressing a key problem in sea-ice modeling, the correct representation of ridges and other spatia
