Geometrical constraints on the formation and melt of ridged sea ice
The Arctic ice pack consists of flat level ice, open water, and large ridge structures. During winter, ice thickens and is compacted into ridges, increasing the Arctic ice volume. In summer, ridging is accompanied by ice melt processes, which act to decrease ice volume. Current ice-atmosphere-ocean...
