DYNAMICS OF THE COUPLED ICE-OCEAN SYSTEM IN THE MARGINAL ICE ZONE: STUDY OF THE MESOSCALE PROCESSES AND OF CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS FOR SEA ICE

This study is aimed at the modelling of mesoscale processes such as up/downwelling and ice edge eddies in the marginal ice zones. A 2-dimensional coupled ice-ocean model is used for the study. The ice model is coupled to the reduced gravity ocean model (f-plane) through interfacial stresses. The con...
