We revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al..
Over the past decade, ocean circulation models evolved through improved understanding …

A spectacular resurgence of interest in the topic of ocean wave/sea ice interactions has
unfolded over the last two decades, fueled primarily by the deleterious ramifications of …

Abstract Analysis of field measurements of ocean surface wave activity in the marginal ice
zone, from campaigns in the Arctic and Antarctic and over a range of different ice conditions …

Sea ice is composed of discrete floes, which range in size across orders of magnitude. Here
we present a model that represents the joint distribution of sea ice thickness and floe size …

The seasonal sea ice zone encompasses the region between the winter maximum and
summer minimum sea ice extent. In both the Arctic and Antarctic, the majority of the ice cover …

Recent field programs have highlighted the importance of the composite nature of the sea
ice mosaic to the climate system. Accordingly, we previously developed a process‐based …

Many studies have shown a decrease in Arctic sea ice extent. It does not logically follow,
however, that the extent of the marginal ice zone (MIZ), here defined as the area of the …

The size distribution of pancake ice floes is calculated from images acquired during a
voyage to the Antarctic marginal ice zone in the winter expansion season. Results show that …

The Arctic marginal ice zone (MIZ), where strong interactions between sea ice, ocean and
atmosphere take place, is expanding as the result of ongoing sea ice retreat. Yet, state-of …

The Southern Ocean has a profound impact on the Earth's climate system. Its strong winds,
intense currents, and fierce waves are critical components of the air-sea interface and …
